Anne Hutchinson's Way

In 1634, young Susanna Hutchinson sailed from England with her family to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, where they hoped to practice their religion freely. But when Susanna’s mother, Anne, began to hold her own Scripture meetings at which she contradicted the minister’s teaching that God is stern and punitive, she was told to stop. Although threatened with banishment for disturbing the peace of the colony, Anne Hutchinson refused to be silenced, no matter the consequences.

The inspiring true story of one of our country’s first heroines is brought stunningly to life in oil paintings rich with historical detail. Anne Hutchinson's Way is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
