Cana  Massachusetts: a utopian vision of 18th-century Puritan New England. To the outside world
Reverend Nathaniel Whitfield and his family stand as godly pillars of their small-town
community  drawing Christians from across the New World into their fold. One such Christian 
physician Arthur Lyman  discovers in the minister's words a love so captivating it transcends
language. As the bond between these two men grows more and more passionate  their families must
contend with a tangled web of secrets  lies  and judgments which threaten to destroy them in
this world and the next. And when the religious ecstasies of the Great Awakening begin to take
hold  igniting a new era of zealotry  Nathaniel and Arthur search for a path out of an
impossible situation  imagining a future for themselves which has no name. Their wives and
children must do the same  looking beyond the known world for a new kind of wilderness  both
physical and spiritual. Set during the turbulent historical upheavals which shaped America's
destiny and following in the tradition of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter  All the
World Beside reveals the very human lives just beneath the surface of dogmatic belief.
Bestselling author Garrard Conley has created a page-turning  vividly imagined historical tale
that is both a love story and a crucible--
