When 15-year-old Polly Kimball sets fire to the family farm, killing her abusive father, she and her young brother find shelter in a Massachusetts Shaker community called the City of Hope. It is the Era of Manifestations, when young Shaker girls all across the Northeast are experiencing mystical visions. The City of Hope had not yet been blessed with a Visionist ― but that changes when Polly arrives and is unexpectedly exalted. This Peer Pick title was selected by Abbey Stroop, the Reader’s Advisory Library and Fiction, Express and Large Print buyer at Herrick District Library in Holland, Michigan.
