AnnotationAs an adult whose family was wiped out in a fire when she was two, Lydde Falcone is given a sheaf of family documents that indicate the presence of a break in the time/space continuum. When she investigates, she is suddenly back in Puritan England in 1657, shortly after the English Civil War. One of Lydde's newfound relatives is an arch-Puritan, and the man she falls in love with is an anti-Cromwellian rebel who robs the rich and gives to the poor. Returning Home to West Virginia after her beloved Uncle John's death, Lydde finds that he has left her an odd legacy: a note with instructions that lead her to a remote mountain cave. When she falls into a crevasse, she finds she has followed her uncle farther than she thought -- to Norchester, England, in 1657. Times are dark: the ruling Puritans have beheaded the king and prohibited song, dance, and even Christmas. Though she passes as a boy with her short hair and pants, local official Noah Fallam is still suspicious of her strange clothing and outspokenness. Luckily, she soon finds her uncle, and another man: the Raven, a bandit who provides for the poor through smuggling and robbery. The unlikely couple fall in love, and Lydde must decide where -- and when -- she belongs. This captivating story brings us close to Denise Giardina's signature concerns of faith and the way we treat the earth. If You Enjoy "Fallam's Secret (Paperback)", May We Also Recommend:
