Margarethe, the proud, impetuous daughter of a nobleman in Germany,
wants no part in her father's plans to marry her off to Count von
Schonstein's son, Eric, so that the two nobles can join forces
against the "upstart" burghers. She would much rather stay at home
with her beloved younger sister, Else, but Else will soon be
leaving to spend the rest of her life in a convent. Unlike her
gentle, pious sister, Margarethe is certain that God's only desire
is to make her life miserable, especially now that she refuses to
participate in the rites and ceremonies of the Church. When her
brother, Fritz, brings her an "indulgence" from far-off J terbog,
she doubts that even this can make her acceptable to an angry God.
Then from her great-aunt, Margarethe hears of another religion, one
almost forgotten, that taught that God loves the world, and she
longs to know if this message is true. As the controversy
surrounding the teachings of Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwinglius
intensifies, she and her dear friend, Anna, along with Fritz and
Eric, must decide what part they might play in the emerging
Reformation.
