I read this when I was young, middle school maybe? I know I liked it. I mostly remember when young divinity student has been captured by Indians? Escapes and runs to Uncle Matthew's house and falls into Mercy's lap, which suddenly reveals the love they never admitted to because Judith would be upset and Mercy was too saintly to upset Judith? I mean I think that was from Witch of Blackbird Pond, if not there is another kids book with a saintly sister in wheelchair.

Anyway, 40 years later I'm volunteering at a community theater and to my real surprise, they are doing a production of Witch of Blackbird Pond. They left out the aforementioned lap falling, so maybe it was a different book. So there is a young adult play of this book, it's not bad actually, although a bit heavy handed.
