Rebellious Hearts

Jody Hedlund Brings History to Life Like Few Others In 1763 Massachusetts, Susanna Smith has grown up with everything she's ever wanted, except one thing: an education. Because she's a female, higher learning has been closed to her, but her quick mind and quicker tongue never back down from a challenge. She's determined to put her status to good use, reaching out to the poor and deprived. And she knows when she marries well, she will be able to continue her work with the less fortunate. Ben Ross grew up a farmer's son and has nothing to his name but his Harvard education. A poor country lawyer, he doesn't see how he'll be able to fulfill his promise to make his father proud of him. When family friends introduce him to the Smith family, he's drawn to quick-witted Susanna but knows her family expects her to marry well. When Susanna's decision to help an innocent woman no matter the cost crosses with Ben's growing disillusionment with their British rulers, the two find themselves bound together in what quickly becomes a very dangerous fight for justice.

This pathbreaking collection engages in the important new work of rediscovering the hundreds of British women writing during the Romantic period, women who we now realize were central, not marginal, to the poetics and ideologies of Romanticism. Yet no previous volume has focused on British women's responses to the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, or on their participation in the social, economic, religious, and poetic debates surrounding these political conflicts. As the first book to represent the full spectrum of women's participation in the Revolutionary debates, Rebellious Hearts uncovers a rich new field of literary and historical scholarship.

I was reaching to turn off the light when I heard a knock at the front door. It was loud, especially for this late at night. I went over and looked through the curtain next to the double doors. Two men were standing at the top of the steps. They appeared to be paramedics. One was carrying what looked like medical toolkits. The other had a large clipboard in one hand and an oxygen tank in the other. I noticed an ambulance parked on the street in front of the house. I thought they must be lost, so I opened the door. Professor Brent Wilkins was an intelligent man who didn't believe in God.

On the verge of losing all hope, she was awakened in the night by a voice saying, 'Pray for your husband's heart.' As far as she knew, Brent's health was in perfect condition. But in only a few hours, she found herself in the hospital, staring at her unconscious husband with an unknown heart condition. Through their stories weave the mystery of what happened to Brent and Michelle's daughter, Drea, on a tragic missionary trip to Central Africa. Can Michelle find the faith to trust God with saving her husband's life? Will Brent put aside his anger to discover the truth? Is this truth worth dying for?
