"Adam Hepburn's Vow: A Tale of Kirk and Covenant" by Annie S. Swan is a historical story that takes place in 17th-century Scotland; it follows a minister named Andrew Gray and his children, David and Agnes, as they travel to Edinburgh during a time of great conflict between the Church of Scotland and the ruling powers. The story begins with their arrival in the busy city on a cold February day, just as a major political movement is starting. Their father tells them about the importance of faith and bravery, setting the stage for a story about family strength, devotion, and the courage to fight for what you believe in during a chaotic time.
