Long Journey To Freedom: The Alice Lake Story

In an era when the unseen was greatly feared and the devil himself was believed to walk among men, suspicion could be as deadly as any weapon. The Puritan colonies in the 1600s, were governed by rigid religious doctrines and a constant fear of spiritual conflict which quickly became a breeding ground for hysteria, where cruel accusations spread swiftly among once-close neighbors. For the God-fearing Lake family, what began as a quiet life rooted in faith and community would eventually unravel into a nightmare---one where truth was silenced and innocence offered little protection against the wagging tongues of the hate-filled accusers. Long Journey To Freedom is a true story, taking the reader down the path of young love, joy, fear, many trials, repentance and judgment.
