The Radiance of Grace is the true story of Mary Dwyer, Katherine Scott, and Anne Hutchinson, whose friendship inspired faith and courage when confronted by Puritan authority.

Sit down with author Margaret J. Cotton to discuss her newest title, The Radiance of Grace. This uplifting historical novel, rich in extensive research that began with the author’s being awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities Grant for Independent Study, celebrates three women's persistent dedication to social and political reforms. Their unwavering cries for justice motivated colonial communities to increase pressure on King Charles II for the Rhode Island Royal Charter of 1663, which specifically guaranteed liberty of conscience, religion, and speech, and is described as the deepest American root of the First Amendment.
