Great tale of belief vs. events
This was the story of a small village of Quakers in colonial New Jersey. The rise in tensions between England and the colonies has become a sticking point for those who would stand back and not become involved and those who thought the King had become too much of a tyrant. The result was that a group of friends had be removed from the fellowship and had to fend for themselves.
It also involved the relationship of two brothers who worked at different agendas and how one befriended the small group while the other worked to make life hard for his own gain.
The inner turmoil that the Quakers felt at this time is brought out as is the interplay between the colonist and the British troops.
A really good story of this time. The language is somewhat archaic for today but understandable and makes it feel even more historic.
The narrator did a great job with the book.
