An Art, a Craft, a Mystery - Paperback

by Laura Secord (Author)

Feminist Puritan Women

This novel in verse tells of two historical women, Lydea Gilbert and Katherine (Kate) Harrison, who lived along the Connecticut River in the mid 1600s. They were women of intuitive genius and healing powers, who lived in a Puritan culture, where the value of women's lives was suspect and condemned.

A smartly conceived and emotionally stirring poetic tale.--Kirkus Reviews
