In the present, a Quaker Meeting in the Pacific Northwest is caught between holding their ever-shrinking group together and staying true to their values. In the mid-1600s, Mary Dyer, the first woman to be executed for Quaker beliefs, discovers Quakerism and spends her life fighting for its believers. Through both of these timelines, a mysterious narrator tells the story of a child who nearly died in the mid-1800s, returning to the living as a genderless spirit. A story of dissent, acceptance, silence, and, of course, the history of Quakers in America.
