Jonathan Edwards was one of the country's most important theologians and is renowned for his part in the "First Great Awakening," especially in his sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."
Stinson lives across from the cemetery in Northampton where Edwards and his family lived. She began reading the headstones – some of which have inscriptions reminding the living that we, too, will turn to dust – and became fascinated with the lives and stories of the Edwards family and others from eighteenth century Northampton.
Stinson has been writing this book for many years and has endorsements from many people in the Edwards community including the Executive Director of the Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale.
Stinson's books have been very well received and reviewed over the years and this historical novel, while being a totally new direction, has been well supported and is much anticipated.
Stinson has published pieces on writing this book in the Lambda Literary Review and in Necessary Fiction.
