This gripping historical novel, as told by Autumn Leaf (aka Susan Hutchinson), transports readers to Colonial Boston where The Worming of America explores oppression in a Puritanical time as seen through the eyes of Anne Hutchinson's daughter.
Like all good Awakenings and revolutions, the Great Awakening and the American Revolution started with a good conversation. But when and with whom did that good conversation start? New England Transcendentalism started somewhere, but where and how? The seed of Civil Disobedience was planted by someone in Massachusetts, but by who and why?
In the polemic spirit of Jane Anger's The Protection for Women we publish The Worming of America as a rebuttal to Joseph Swetnam's novel published in 1615 titled, The Arraignment of Lewd, Idle, Forward, and Unconstant Women: or the Vanity of Them, Choose You Whether: With a Commendation of Wise, Virtuous and Honest Women: Pleasant For Married Men, Profitable For Young Men, and Hurtful to None.
Our author and illustrator Autumn Leaf, in the spring of 1650 Boston, shares her thoughts, her joy, her pain, and her drawings with you the reader as she discusses her own and her classmates good-work before they go to the execution of Mary Dyer. Our American journey will be filled with ups and downs / twists and turns - where our own ideas of civilization, religion, sin, debt, and humanity are questioned.
The sun will shine tomorrow even as you read or look into this dark comedy, and for better or worse the truth will be felt and laid bare in the American sunlight. Not because we live within our Fathers' Age of Reason, no... quite the opposite. The Worming of America will be heard in 2018 and beyond because America now lives in the age of treason.
