A review by sophronisba
Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial That Riveted a Nation by Brenda Wineapple

hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

Brenda Wineapple serves up another of her approachable nineteenth-century histories. This isn't my favorite of her books -- that would be her Emily Dickinson book, White Heat -- but it remains a readable account of a pivotal moment in history, filled with fascinating characters. And, like the best histories, it will also provoke some thoughts about the time we live in now.
