Robert White's spiritual journey eventually led him to the Shakers, but, much to his dismay, his wife did not share his views and remained committed to Quakerism. As a married, celibate Believer, Robert White had to balance the often-conflicting roles he played in his two families, natural and Shaker. How he functioned as a Shaker convert living "in the world" is a story of faith and challenges; an exceptional Shaker experience in the mid-nineteenth century.

Seeking Robert White: Quaker, Shaker, Husband, Father, by Sandra A. Soule, 428 pp., illustrations (some color) , paperback binding, 23 cm., 2016. ISBN: 978-1-937370-18-3 ($35)
