The simplicity, hard work, and dedication of Shaker life are conveyed through verse and pictures that trace a day from morning to night: "Morning is a golden face, hands to work, hearts to God, sisters shake the linens out, white as morning snow." Gardening, baking, carpentry, and cleaning fill a day that concludes with dancing. Acrylic paintings catch the stillness and virtues of this religious order.
