Publisher's Summary:
A fascinating blend of little known history and compelling fiction.
Convicted by the Puritans in 1660 for being a Quaker, Mary Dyer courageously faced the gallows on the Boston Commons. Often misunderstood by her husband and six children, she turned her back on those who loved her for the higher principle of protesting the anti-Quaker Laws.
What must it have been like to stand beneath the gallows and watch a loved one make the ultimate sacrifice for something you do not fully understand? Mary Dyer's sacrifice helped pave the way for our first amendment rights of the freedom of religion and speech and pointed out the need for the separation of church and state.

Puritans and Quakers
After more than 50 years, I became interested in the details of Quaker, Mary Dyer's life. I saw the statue of Mary Dyer in the Boston Common when I was in college. The remarkable thing is that I met a relative of hers. I asked her about relationship and she said we never speak of this. The Puritans who came here for religious freedom found that their freedom was dependent on their strict religious leaders. Those who thought differently, had to move to Rhode Island and other areas or face severe penalties. The plight of the Quakers was worse. They faced hanging in Boston. They were thought to be practicing witchcraft. Mary was the one woman Quaker to be hung. It took many years for Leaders in Boston to change their thinking leading to creating the memorial statue.
A Five Star Read
A five star read! The life of Mary Dyer is truly inspiring and captivating. Having her story told through the eyes of a fictitious sister provided me with a unique perspective of what it must have been like for her family as they watched her protest the harsh, anti-Quaker laws of the puritans. I wished The Sister of Mary Dyer: The High Price of Freedom could have ended differently, but it didn't. Reality is sometimes extremely cruel. Because Mary Dyer was willing to pay the ultimate price, our founding father included the first amendment to the constitution that established our freedom of religion and speech.
