    [synopsis] => A timeless story of a woman's quest to find fulfilment and create change, based on the remarkable life of pioneering feminist and abolitionist Lucy Stone. 

Born on a farm in 1818, Lucy Stone dreamt of extraordinary things for a girl of her time, whether it was staying in school beyond the eighth grade or working for the abolitionist cause. She dreamed of ordinary things, too, such as falling in love and raising a family of her own. But when she learns that the Constitution affords no rights to married women, she declares that she will never marry and dedicates her life to fighting for change. 

At a time when it is considered promiscuous for women to speak in public, Lucy risks everything for the anti-slavery movement. Her powerful oratory mesmerizing even her most ardent detractors as she rapidly becomes a household name. And when she begins to lecture on the "woman question," she inspires a young Susan B. Anthony to join the movement. But life as a crusader is a lonely one. 

Then, one day, a dashing and forward-thinking young man proposes a marriage of equals. Lucy must reconcile her desire for love and children with her public persona and the legal perils of marriage she has long railed against. And when a wrenching controversy pits Stone and Anthony against each other, Lucy makes a decision that will impact her legacy forever. 

Based on true events, Leaving Coy's Hill is a timeless story of dreams and ambitions and the constraints placed upon a woman fighting for justice amindst society's stubborn constraints in a deeply divided country. Haunting and memorable, Kathrine Sherebroke brings to life a true American heroine for a new generation.
