"Though Waters Roar" by Lynn Austin

This book was a slow read.  It was a good book and well written, but it took me four days to finish it, and I normally finish a book of this length in 4-6 hours.  The story covers the "flashbacks" of three generations of women in a family - the grandmother, mother, and daughter - all acting courageously in the face of danger, trusting in God's direction and guidance.

Harriett Sherwood was arrested for possession of alcohol during prohibition.  As she sits in her jail cell, she can't help but wonder what her purpose in life is.  As she ponders, she finds herself reliving the past and remembering the stories her grandmother and mother have told her of their pasts and their fights for temperance and suffrage.

Thanks to Bethany House Publishers for providing this book for me to read and review.
