Bremer, author of Puritanism: A Very Short Introduction and John Winthrop: America's Forgotten Founding Father ""A captivating insight into the turbulent consequences of the seventeenth century's Great Ejection and one young girl's remarkable journey of courageous faith. As Carr traces the life of poet Anne Bradstreet, readers of all ages will be inspired by one woman's steadfast conviction of the goodness and power of God through suffering and her insistence on seeing beauty through brokenness."" --Emily Lucas, Union School of Theology, London ""Simonetta Carr offers a wonderful, compelling portrait of Anne Bradstreet, a devout Christian and arguably the most important poet in colonial America."" --Thomas S. Kidd, author of America's Religious History and research professor of church history, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary"
