Excerpt from the Book
One of the laundry maids in Sir Thomas More’s household, a pretty, modest girl, drew my attention by the deep sadness always visible in her countenance. One day when she was busy in my room, I ventured to take out my little Testament for a few moments reading. When she perceived what I was reading, she dropped the work she had in her hand, and coming up to me said with tears in her eyes, “Ah, mistress, if you read that book, I am sure you are good, and will feel some pity for me, alone as I am in the world.”

“What is it, Joan, that troubles you?” I inquired. “In what way can I help or comfort you?”

“Unfortunately,” she replied, “it is little indeed that anyone can do to ease sorrows like mine, but you look kind, and I think I may trust you. After hearing my story, you will no longer wonder at the sadness that weighs upon me.”

Review:
“The Maiden of Sodbury Hall is an inspiring read. It is an impacting page-turner that made me appreciate the power of God’s Word, and it’s role throughout history.”
