Seventeenth-century Scotland is a place of cruel intolerance for the Covenanters, a people bound together by their loyal faith. A young, earnest Covenanter, Margaret Wilson finds her pledged loyalty to Christ and his covenant in opposition to King Charles II's demands for her absolute obedience. Will Margaret choose to defy the authorities? Or will devotion to her family, love for her sweetheart, and hopes for future happiness ruler her heart?

The Chosen Daughters series highlights the lives of ordinary women who by God's grace accomplish extraordinary things.

"Against the Tide more than delivers. Margaret Wilson is a heroine for the ages, holding true to her convictions during one of the darkest seasons in Scottish history. Set in Galloway, the corner of the Lowlands nearest to my heart, Hope Marston's tale of courage rings vibrantly true to time and place. Oh, that we might all have the faith of this young woman, who was determined to let God choose her future, whether for service or for sacrifice." Liz Curtis Higgs
