It is a time when young girls in Shaker enclaves are being visited by extraordinary mystical visions, earning them the honorific of "Visionist" and bringing renown to their settlements. The City of Hope has not yet been blessed with a Visionist-- until Polly arrives and is unexpectedly exalted. The role brings unwelcome scrutiny as she struggles to conceal her dark past --especially from her best friend and ally, a young Shaker sister named Charity."--back cover. 610 20 $a Shakers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Visionaries $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Massachusetts $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. 941 $a 2 952 $l GCPC771 $d 20230125012021.0 952 $l JHPC815 $d 20191221010202.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B6A3F0023BF11EA81B3231F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
