Book Overview

Rebel Saints is a novel written by Mary Agnes Best. It tells the story of a young woman named Lizzie who is torn between her love for her family and her desire to break free from their strict religious beliefs. Lizzie is raised in a fundamentalist Christian community in the early 20th century, where women are expected to be submissive and obedient to men. However, Lizzie is a rebel at heart and dreams of a life beyond the confines of her community. As Lizzie grows older, she becomes increasingly disillusioned with the hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness of her community. She begins to question the teachings of her church and the role of women in society. Lizzie's journey takes her on a path of self-discovery and rebellion, as she struggles to reconcile her faith with her desire for freedom and independence.
