Item description from seller

Age discoloration around page edges; front cover/page slit where binding is, Book Pages are very good, no rips or tears; When Sylvia Carey came to the Grays' ramshackle homestead with a past to forget, her warmhearted generosity meant new lives for them all. The run-down farm and the old house became, under her imaginative direction, well-managed, thriving establishments. Only Austin Gray, the brilliant yet bitter son, whose penchant for the dissolute ways of Wallacetown so scandalized the village, refused her impulsive friendship- until that night when Sylvia, badly injured and faint with shock, sketched for Austin, with a bitterness matching his own, the sordidness of her own past. For both, that terrible, storm- filled night was an end- and a beginning. For Sylvia, it presaged the kindling of a tender, overwhelming passion she had never thought possible. For Austin, it meant spiritual fulfillment, broadened horizons and an all pervading love of a type he had not known before. But the difficulties were enormous, each was quick-tempered and proud, and the sins of both came back to haunt them. Their struggles, their temptations, their triumphs- how they twice lost and found each other- make a powerful story which you will not soon forget. Of a different stamp was David Noble, neighbor of the Grays and the son of impoverished newcomers to Hamstead. From the very beginning, David was ambitious: he wanted money, and above all he wanted to become a doctor, and subordinated to both these hopes was the desire to possess the lovely Jacqueline, half-French granddaughter of a wealthy Hamsteader. Forcibly separated from her by the irate grandfather, it was not until David had attained both his prior ambitions that he found Jacqueline once more, in France. No longer was she the fragile, shy, tender child whom he had worshiped so long, but an exquisite, sophisticated, worldly-wise woman, tremendously weary of her mode of living. Again David's luck held; and the romance flowered anew, until Jacqueline's own spirit and David's insane desire for total possession drove them apart once more. His subsequent bitterness, the truth about himself which finally came to him, his frantic efforts to find Jacqueline and the near-tragedy which occurred when he did are the warp and woof of this profoundly moving story.…
