Set in a Massachusetts Shaker community in 1842, this story is about Polly, a young girl escaping from a horrific childhood, finding refuge as a new believer in the City of Hope. All her life she has found a kind of spiritual escape from her father's abuse, and when she is safe at the City of Hope, she experiences variations of those visions and is identified as a Visionist (someone who receives direct word from Mother Ann the founder of the Shakers).

All is not well or as it seems with Polly, and the secret she is running from pursues her along with others who would benefit from finding her. Even her "safety" within the City of Hope isn't a certainty.
