The Spirits of the Sodus Bay Shakers is a captivating telling of the Shaker culture and land from the 1830s. It is a work of fiction but its historical content is unmistakable. The book clearly describes the struggles believers face in maintaining dedication to beliefs that are difficult to live by. The author combines the history with a parallel tale of life at Cracker Box Palace Farm Animal Haven, the current owners of the land.
Though the book contains a lot of historical information, it is a fast-paced, enjoyable read.
