A Matter of Conscience

by Joan Kane Nichols

First published 1992

In colonial Boston, Anne Hutchinson boldly defies the Puritan church's theocratic rule. Fiercely independent, she dares to preach her own interpretations of scripture, challenging the authority of the colony's male leadership. But her theological dissent quickly escalates into a high-stakes battle, as Hutchinson is put on trial for heresy and sedition. Facing imprisonment and banishment, she must decide whether to recant her beliefs or sacrifice everything for the sake of conscience.
