Životní příběh dívky, která se na devět dní stala anglickou královnou. Svou věrností Kristu vydala svědectví Pravdě a ve svých 16 letech byla navzdory rozsudku smrti světlem anglickému národu, protože Krista si cenila více než vlastního života.
V osmnácti letech opustila Anne Bradstreetová Anglii, aby v Novém světě našla svobodu vyznání. Navzdory mnoha těžkostem se stala vůbec první americkou básnířkou, jejíž dílo bylo vydáno knižně. Její nádherné verše plné pevné křesťanské víry pronikaly do hlubin duší čtenářů a rychle se rozšířily po celé Anglii. Anne byla oddaná manželka a matka a zároveň žena hlubokého duchovního přesvědčení. Svůj křesťanský život vnímala jako pouť do lepšího světa, který přichází. Verše plné biblických pravd potvrzují pravdivost jejích vlastních slov: „Nesnažím se vyvyšovat sama sebe, ale slávu Boží.“

Faith Cook writes an historical novel about Tom, whose life of hardship was typical of the days in which he lived, and has been drawn from many true-life events. He comes into contact with William Grimshaw, the fiery curate of Haworth with a burning desire to teach God's truth and care for his flock. We see what happends to Tom, living 'under the scaffold'. Many, today, associate Haworth with the Bronte sisters, but relatively few know about Grimshaw (1708-63), who was the parish curate seventy years before they came to the village.
