Step into 1536 England.Margery White, a Kentish cloth weaver and quiet mother, never asked for danger. But when a forbidden English New Testament—translated by William Tyndale—arrives smuggled within the wool she spins, Margery begins a quiet rebellion. As she reads the Gospel of Matthew in her own tongue for the first time, the world around her begins to shift: the Church’s grip, her husband’s rule, even her own understanding of faith.This immersive historical narrative brings to life the cost and courage behind Bible translation during the English Reformation. Told in Margery’s voice, it is a story of hidden truth, silent resistance, and a flickering candle in the dark.Perfect for sleep, study, or gentle learning.
