Sister Anna : A Story of Shaker Life

Pat Perrin, Wim Coleman

Sister Anna : A Story of Shaker Life

Paperback (Discovery Enterprises Ltd May 15, 2000)
Left with the Shakers for two years by her father, thirteen-year-old Anna Coburn learns much about Shaker customs and rituals. She helps an unhappy friend run away; survives a harrowing confrontation with a dishonest shopkeeper; and meets visitors Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. When her father sends for her, Anna has difficulty adjusting to their new life in Boston—and she clearly doesn't fit her stepmother's idea of what a young lady should be. After she faces both social and moral dilemmas and escapes a threat to her life, Anna must make an important decision about how and where she will live.
