A compelling novel of love, loyalty, and sacrifice. Under the Storm has been acclaimed by critics as one of the greatest historical romances. It begins in the English Civil War and ends at the Restoration, but events are seen through the eyes of simple country folk. Steadfast is a young farmer with a secret to hide and employs Patience, the second daughter of a local farmer's family, to help him do so. She is a tomboy and goes by her nickname The Alleged. Steadfast soon falls in love with another woman but learns his secret first. The two sisters grow up fatherless, managing a farm when an enemy burns all their property to the ground and kills their father as well. Another brother comes home wounded and needs care until he can recover from his wounds. Our heroine Patience is there for them all through these difficult times, until she meets Stephen Whitworth, who turns out to be the crooked Royalist Governor of Liverpool who has designs upon her dowry and lands.
