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.

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.
