Will Heywood and Susanna Thorn, the young Quaker lovers from No Shame, No Fear, resume their story, told in alternating voices and played out against the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London. The book meanders down soap opera–like paths laid over historical events. Still, Susanna and Will are so essentially nice that readers will want to make sure they survive.

YA
A love affair between Quaker Susanna and merchant's son Will plays out against the persecution of Friends in seventeenth-century England. In alternating chapters, the young lovers recount their seemingly doomed romance and their own journeys of faith. The briskly paced narrative weaves early modern social customs and Quaker religious beliefs with an engrossing plot and a moving love story.
