A moving portrait of a devoted sister caught between duty and family wealth. This novel traces a once-happy Kentucky family as prosperity grows, responsibilities mount, and a sister’s quiet strength is tested by the choices of those she loves. Set against a backdrop of faith, community, and shifting social norms, it explores how money and power can strain kinship and challenge personal sacrifice.
In the Frater family, Martha’s integrity, education, and grace stand in contrast to a spending-driven rush for success. The narrative follows how she navigates loneliness, care for her brothers, and the pull of public life, all while trying to keep a sense of purpose and faith alive in a changing world.
The book blends intimate family scenes with broader questions about justice, support for aging ministers, and what it means to live for others in a demanding era.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical family sagas with moral questions and faithful devotion at their core.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book relates the inspiring story of the often-forgotten group of people who were the retired Methodist preachers and the challenges they faced in the late 1800s. The author, who spent years overseeing the sacred interests of the forgotten men of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, was uniquely qualified to write this story. This book should be of particular interest to those in the Methodist faith but will also appeal to followers of other faiths. Through the characters in the story, the author makes a stirring call for the proper support of retired preachers. The reader will be challenged to think about the role of the church in caring for its own and to consider the broader implications of the book's themes.
