The Kendal Sparrow by Barbara Luetke

The Kendal Sparrow by Barbara Luetke

The early Quaker movement was one fired by the spiritual activism and vision of young adults. The Kendal Sparrow is a fictional account of one of them. Elizabeth Fletcher, a real-life sheltered, English farm girl, was convinced in 1652 by George Fox. Based on historical records and careful research, Barbara Schell Luetke brings to life the story of Fletcher, a young Friend who breaks from the prescribed roles of women of that time to travel hundreds of miles to preach and find purpose in her life. The Kendal Sparrow includes the tellings of many of the youngest members of those known today as the Valiant Sixty and shows that each of our lives matters and can speak.
