I read this book a long time ago, but loved it very much and have never forgotten it. I have read other novels by deHaartog, and he is such a good writer. At the beginning of the book, Margaret goes to visit the English prison, and is horrified by what she sees. "How can God allow this?" she asks.

I read this when I was young, and I'm sure it helped form my values and how I have lived my life. It made a difference. What more can you ask from a book?
The Star of Peace was as good, if not better!
