- Summary:
- An ordinary eighteenth-century New England woman, Hannah Heaton left as her legacy an extraordinary piece of history. The diary of this unsusually sensitive farm wife and mother spans a period of 40 years, from the Great Awakening through the Revolutionary War. Now published for the first time, Heaton's diary offers an unparalleled revelation of the inner life of a woman who was devoutly religious and intensely self-aware.
