Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kendal Sparrow is a fictional account of Elizabeth Fletcher, a real life sheltered, English farm girl, who was convinced in1652 by George Fox. Based on historical records and careful research, the story of Fletcher is of a young Friend who breaks from the prescribed roles of women of the time to travel hundreds of miles with Friends to learn to preach and find purpose in her life. Fueled by stories of martyrs and a plan hatched at Swarthmoor Hall to spread the faith, she encourages others to trust in the possibility and power of inward worship without the need of ordained ministers. Embellished with writings from personal journals and letters of the time, The Kendal Sparrow includes the "tellings" of many of the youngest members of those known today as the Valiant Sixty and exemplifies that love is the answer and that each of our lives matters and can speak.
