Synopsis

The people of Bethel, Missouri, seek to live with simplicity and generosity, existing in the world of the 1850s but remaining set apart from its distractions and vanities. Rather than finding peace in this would-be utopia, spirited young Emma Wagner chafes at the constraints of a culture that values conformity over independent thought, especially in women.

I liked the way the author showed that when people follow a man instead of God things will go wrong. The people of the colony believed they were following God by following their leader, but the leader showed he was not fit to lead.The other men were too caught up in honoring a leader in order to honor God that they could not reason well.
