Phebe fell to her knees and prayed, prayed for an answer to this Apocalypse, which was surely directed at her alone. And when at last she found the courage to look up, it became clear what God wanted of her. She had suffered enough. She had endured loneliness enough. She had done her penance for whatever sin she had committed. God would shed his mercy on her at last. Phebe knew what his wish for her was, and she was prepared to comply.

Book excerpt: This volume details Nantucket's long history from European settlement in 1659 to whaling culture and Quaker influence to tourist destination. Nantucket, a Wampanoag word meaning far-away island, was first settled by Europeans in 1659. The earliest settlers, known as the Proprietors, envisioned a community of farmers and shepherds, but the island found its fortune as a preeminent whaling port in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. During its time under Quaker influence, Nantucket was a cosmopolitan and dynamic place; radical new ideas, like abolitionism and women's rights, found fertile ground in the Quakers' firm belief in equality. As the entrance to the harbor became impassable, Nantucket lost its whaling focus and experienced a general economic decline. Ironically, this downturn and the resulting absence of new building, along with modern cultural change, became the springboard for its later revival. Nantucket was transformed into a tourist destination, an artist colony, and a summer home to the wealthy and famous, with a rich maritime heritage and a proud tradition of historic preservation.
