Synopsis: Maggie Allerton is confused. Her friends, Dancy Truesdale and Susannah Clarke, make fun of the new church movement called "the awakening." They say unlearned preachers are causing disorder and chaos among the people of Boston. Maggie's confusion grows even greater when Susannah is given a slave girl as a Christmas present from her parents. When the young girl, Melee, is mistreated by Susannah, Maggie wonders what she can do to help. Then Melee, accustomed to the warm climate of the West Indies, grows gravely ill during the harsh Boston winter. Will Melee's illness help Maggie discover the truth about the revival in Boston?
