Description

Mrs Jane Field and Amanda Pratt navigate family duty, loneliness, and rural expectation as quiet courage is tested in a small New England community. Spoken as when a woman's standing still asks what she will risk for those she loves.

Author

Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852–1930) grew up in Randolph, Massachusetts, and wrote the New England village as if every parlour were a theatre of will. A New England Nun is the famous short weather of a woman who will not be hurried into marriage; Pembroke is the same climate at novel length — pride, church, and a stubbornness that can freeze a town. She later took the Howells Medal. The regional is never small in her hands. Thrift has a pulse.
