Thirteen-year old Herodias Long impulsively marries a handsome stranger to escape a life of servitude. The couple flees from Puritan repression in 17th-century Massachusetts, but even in liberal Rhode Island, Herodias lives in a world where her children and inheritance belong to her husband. When she learns that it is easier to marry a jealous man than to be freed from him, Herodias realizes that her troubles have just begun.
