In the year 1701, an unruly tongue can earn you a seven day punishment from the Elders in the community, and that is precisely what has happened to Hester. Raised by her overindulgent grandparents, it is now her husband, Caleb, who must teach the young wife how to control her unkind thoughts and treat others with more respect and charity. The week long punishment must be harsh, and he has decided to not only spank her several times daily, but to use other punishments that will test her modesty as well. Hester pleads with her husband for mercy, and regrets that her childish behavior has earned him censure from the Elders, but knows that he will have no mercy on her and will see to his duty. She vows to learn from the punishments and teach herself to control her unruly tongue.
