From the Back Cover:
In this novel, Mrs. Giles gives us a unique picture of everyday life in a Shaker village, one of the experiments in utopian communal living that are a part of American history. Realistically but with understanding, she shows us a society animated not only by saintliness but by bigotry and ordinary human frailties. She also shows us why utopia fails.
Review:
"A delicious nibble of Giles' literary gifts."―Lexington Herald-Leader
"The book answers questions of Shaker beginnings and ending and beliefs while maintaining an easy flow enriched with just enough of the quaint regional dialect to add a distinctive flavor."―Chattanooga Times
