Ilyon Woos The Great Divorce is a dramatic, richly textured narrative history of early Americas most infamous divorce case. A young mother singlehandedly challenged her countrys notions of womens rights, family, and marriage itselfall in a bid to win back her kidnapped children from the celibate, religious sect known as the Shakers. Pulling together the pieces of this saga from crumbled newspapers, Shaker diaries, and long-forgotten letters, Woo delivers the first full account of Eunice Chapmans epic five-year struggle. A moving story about the power of a mothers love, The Great Divorce is also a memorable portrait of a rousing challenge to the values of a young nation.
