Thank you @stmartinspress for a copy of Hester who is based on Scarlett Letter and Nathaniel Hawthrone's inspiration of the story. 

The story is told of Isobel who moves to America with her new husband, Edward. Unfortunately, Edward is a drunk and drug addict and leaves Isobel to use her embroidery and sewing skills. I love how the story wove in Scarlett Letter in building the story. Isobel and Nathaniel's love story is sad. I love how strong Isobel was and what she did to protect her daughter.
