In seventeenth-century Massachusetts, young Hester Prynne is branded with a scarlet “A,” for bearing a child out of wedlock, yet she boldly defies puritanical pressure, outwits the relentless Chillingworth, and guards Dimmesdale’s secret. Amid a whirlwind of secrets and suspense, Hester’s courage shines brighter than the letter she wears.
