Breath-taking yet at times brutal, this is a story based on real historical events in the 17th Century.


Abigail and Grace are living in a country consumed by evil and hate as the conflict between King Charles I and his government led by Oliver Cromwell, result in civil war; a war that tore lives apart as neighbour turned on neighbour and brother on brother.  Yet can their friendship survive?


There is something quite touching and unique about seeing history played out through the innocence and purity of two young girls.  This bloodthirsty and turbulent time is sensitively portrayed not through the gruesome scenes of a battlefield but Mayfield brings a much more touching, emotive and poignant realisation by telling the story of those left behind to pick up the pieces.  


This is a story about faith, the beliefs that make us who we are and the hatred that can be instigated when a lack of tolerance and understanding outweigh compassion and empathy.  Yet more importantly it is ultimately about love, friendship and the strength of the human spirit.   Abigail and Grace are truly inspiring characters who can teach us all how to be better human beings and more accepting of those whom we share our world with.  Relevant and memorable, this is a story that will stay with me always. ~ Shelley Fallows
