The Gaspards of Pine Croft: A Romance of the Windermere follows Hugh Gaspard, an engineer with artistic aspirations, as he navigates the challenges of love, identity, and cultural conflicts in the Windermere Valley of British Columbia. The story is set against the backdrop of the stunning landscape, which pulls Gaspard away from his father s engineering business to establish his own ranch, Pine Croft. The narrative explores his personal journey, beginning with the joy of building a life with his wife, only for their happiness to be overshadowed by her declining health. Further complicating Gaspard's world is the sudden reappearance of a Native American woman from his past, bringing a child into his life, which introduces emotional and moral dilemmas that threaten the harmony of his family. The novel delves into the tensions between personal ambition and familial responsibilities, as well as the emotional complexity that arises when past decisions resurface, testing love, loyalty, and identity.
Autorenporträt
Charles William Gordon, CMG, better known by his pen name Ralph Connor, was a Canadian novelist and church leader. Born on September 13, 1860, in Glengarry County, Ontario, Gordon gained recognition for his literary works, particularly under the pseudonym Ralph Connor. He served as a minister, first in the Presbyterian Church and later in the United Church of Canada, where his pastoral duties often influenced his writing. His works primarily focused on themes of faith, morality, and the challenges of frontier life, resonating deeply with readers of his time. Gordon s notable works, including Black Rock, were praised for their portrayal of the human spirit and the strength of community in difficult times. He was a respected figure both within the church and the literary world. Gordon passed away on October 31, 1937, in Winnipeg, Canada, at the age of 77. His legacy endures through his literary contributions, and his son, J. King Gordon, continued to carry on his family s legacy.
