The Whispering Rod
BY NANCY KELLEY
Brief Description:
The Whispering Rod tells the story of 14-year-old Hannah Pryor who lives with her father in Puritan Boston. In 1659, Quaker preacher Mary Dyer and two companions are about to be executed for breaking anti-Quaker laws. Fired by the injustice of this event, Hannah seeks to learn about Mary Dyer and finds that her own deceased mother was involved in past "scandals." Helped by friends, Hannah stands up to the Puritan elders and moves from childhood to adulthood during a period of social, political and religious upheaval.
