Ilyon Woo€™sThe Great Divorceis the dramatic, richly textured story of one of nineteenth-century America€™s most infamous divorce cases, in which a young mother single-handedly challenged her country€™s notions of women€™s rights, family, and marriage itself.In 1814, Eunice Chapman came home to discover that her three children had been carried off by her estranged husband. He had taken them, she learned, to live among a celibate, religious people known as the Shakers. Defying all expectations, this famously petite and lovely woman mounted an an epic campaign against her husband, the Shakers, and the law. In its confrontation of some of the nation€™s most fundamental debates—religious freedom, feminine virtue, the sanctity of marriage—her case struck a nerve with an uncertain new republic. And its culmination—in a stunning legislative decision and a terrifying mob attack— sent shockwaves through the Shaker community and the nation
