Randall portrays the French Protestant diaspora through three figures: Gabriel Bernon, who led a Huguenot exodus to Massachusetts; Ezéchiel Carré, a Camisard who influenced Cotton Mather's theology; and Elie Neau, a Camisard-influenced writer and escaped galley slave who established North America's first school for blacks.
