IN CELEBRATION, HATFIELD 1677 IS FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED MAY 7 through AUGUST 6
Hatfield 1677
by Laura C. Rader
“Rader paints a stirring picture with the subtlest of brush strokes—this is no simplistic struggle between good and evil…Martha, in particular, is an impressively drawn character, deep and complex…overall, this is a moving work, dramatically compelling and historically searching.
An engrossing novel that challenges stale narratives of colonial America.”— Kirkus Reviews
