Will John risk prison, torture, death, and his wife’s safety by defying the 17th century Church of England’s rigid laws to practice his own religion?

Based on a true story of love and loss and family and faith.

John adores his wife Hannah, the witty, educated vicar’s daughter. She’s the loving family he never had as a child. But even after she challenges his decision to put God before her, he falls into a world spiraling into hypocrisy, tyranny, and betrayal. When John comes face-to-face with his deep-seated convictions about religious freedom, he’s forced to make a hard choice, renounce his orders with the Church of England to become an outlawed Separatist or conform and save his marriage, his family, and his life.
