This sweet story of Verity is about an orphaned child during the late 1600's. The story revolves around Verity, whose last family member has passed away and she is taken in by a widow who has taken in orphans and then had them go begging. Verity is befriended by Joseph, also in the same situation with the widow. It is the time of the Puritans and the Quakers and the tension between these two groups. Verity experiences some very difficult times and becomes a friend of the Quakers who offer and hope to take her in as a part of their family. But they have to deal with the village elders. Verity was always told to stay away from Quakers, but they are kind to her yet she is afraid to trust and is fearful of them.
It's a heart wrenching story that draws you right in. It is very touching and a very good start to the Salem Village Series.
I received a complimentary copy of this very good book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
