This 50-minute sleep story takes listeners back to 17th-century Puritan Boston and explores the classic tale of Hester Prynne. We follow Hester as she emerges from prison bearing the scarlet letter "A" for adultery, facing judgment from the townspeople. The story weaves in other key characters like Hester's estranged husband who seeks revenge, and Reverend Dimmesdale who is tormented by his secret role in Hester's plight. Despite condemnation, Hester finds strength and purpose through raising her daughter Pearl.
