This book takes you back into an era where life was simpler. Caleb finds his new wife testing not only his patience but his role of husband on an almost daily basis.  After Hester has a confrontation with an elder's wife, Caleb is given the order that he must discipline his wife or they both face being asked to leave their home and community. The author makes sure that Hester learns not only about obedience but also that pleasing her husband strengthens their love.  The discipline was strict but well written.  I found myself wondering how it would be to have lived in a time without even the most simple luxuries we enjoy today.  This book is rather short and the language can be a bit difficult to read but necessary to draw you back into the days of thees and thous.
