[edit] Plot introduction
It is the story of a young woman named Much-Afraid, and her journey away from her Fearing family and into the High Places, guided by the Shepherd. It is a clear allegory to a personal journey towards conversion to Christianity. The book takes its title from Habakkuk 3:19, "The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places."
[edit] Allusions/references to other works
The book bears many similarities to John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress.
