Author explores paradoxes of Puritan America

Sarah Vowell loves the Puritans-the people who left England so they could practice their religion freely, and then spent much of their time condemning and expelling those who didn’t believe exactly what they did. She explores life in Puritan America in her new book, “The Wordy Shipmates.”
