After Phoebe and her three siblings lose their parents and baby brother in a tragic fire, they are sent to live with an intolerant aunt, who wants to send Phoebe to work in a mill. The four children run away to the one place that will unquestioningly shelter themâ€”a Shaker village. After a few years with the Shakers, Naomiâ€™s sister is sure she belongs to â€œthe Community,â€ but Naomi, now a gifted healer, hears a voice inside, saying, â€œItâ€™s time for you to go.â€ So she strikes off on her own. But there is something missing from her lifeâ€”something that having a thriving vocation or even meeting the handsome Joseph Fairbanks doesnâ€™t satisfy. This is the story of a young womanâ€™s quest for spiritual fulfillment in the raw and exciting world of America at the start of the 1800s. It is one you wonâ€™t soon forget.
