  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;First published in 1958 and set in the early 17th century, this bestselling novel&amp;#8212;and follow-up to &lt;i&gt;Katherine&lt;/i&gt;&amp;#8212;follows Elizabeth Winthrop, a courageous Puritan woman who finds herself at odds with her heritage and surroundings. A real historical figure, Elizabeth married into the family of Governor John Winthrop of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In those times of hardship, famine, and Indian attacks, many believed that the only way to prosper was through the strong, bigoted, and theocratic government that John Winthrop favored. Defying the government and her family, Elizabeth befriends famous heretic Anne Hutchinson, challenges an army captain, and dares to love as her heart commanded. Through Elizabeth&amp;#8217;s three marriages, struggles with her passionate beliefs, and countless rebellions, a powerful tale of fortitude, humiliation, and ultimate triumph shines through.&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I just love Anya Setons books. She has yet to disappoint me.  I loved reading about Elizabeth and the struggles that really came from her crazy, controlling, religious uncle and son-in-law.  I loved that she was strong enough to overcome all the things that were put in front of her.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm doubting myself in giving this book even three stars. I finished it. It was alright. I was mildly entertained. It gave me a staple to put all that stuff we talked about in US History on so I wouldn't forget it. That's about the highest praise I can give it.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this book. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and I would officially give this book 3 1/2 stars. It is based on real people during the times of the beginning of what is now New England.
