From Infamy to Hope

In Puritan Boston, servant girl Rachel Moore is made pregnant by rape but convicted of fornication under the prevailing view that conception requires consent and made to wear a W on her gown for whore. Her baby is traded by her alcoholic father to the Pequots to satisfy an old debt. Her story intersects with the colonies' decision to go to war with the Pequots, which brings Rachel into contact with Governor John Winthrop in whose house Rachel works and the governor's formidable adversary and opponent of the war Anne Hutchinson. With Anne's help Rachel masquerades as a boy soldier hoping to recover her child. The war ends at the massacre by fire of a Pequot fortified village where Rachel hopes to find her child.
