But those in power in Thatcher's small town have no desire for a new world order.Thatcher and his teachings are not welcome. 1871 VinelandThatcher Greenwood, the new science teacher, is a fervent advocate of the work of Charles Darwin, and he is keen to communicate his ideas to his students.
Both are asked to pay a high price for their courage.But both also find inspiration -- and an unlikely kindred spirit -- in Mary Treat, a scientist, adventurer and anachronism. Both Willa and Thatcher resist the prevailing logic. A testament to both the resilience and persistent myopia of the human condition, Unsheltered explores the foundations we build in life, spanning time and place to give us all a clearer look at those around us, and perhaps ourselves.
It is a novel that speaks truly to our times.
