Produktbeschreibung
Two secrets and a man of his word begins within the modest peace of a rural household, where the quiet rhythms of everyday life offer comfort and stability. A small cottage reflects both the warmth and limitations of a family shaped by resilience and care. A devoted caretaker tends to a loved one confined by illness, while a diligent figure carries out daily responsibilities with quiet pride. The stillness is disrupted when an unexpected act of bravery results in physical harm, revealing how fragile routine can become in the face of sacrifice. As obligations conflict with personal well-being, the consequences ripple through their household. A message bearing news of uncertain property rights introduces instability, forcing reflection on the vulnerability that underlies their outward contentment. The unfolding crisis exposes layers of tension and long-held truths waiting to surface. The narrative moves through these intimate revelations, drawing attention to how ordinary lives are complicated by hidden histories and choices shaped by loyalty and endurance. Each challenge underscores the weight of promises made and kept, and the complexity of trust when external forces threaten the foundations of home.
Autorenporträt
Hesba Stretton, the pen name of Sarah Smith, was an evangelical English author known for her religious books for children. Born on July 27, 1832, in Wellington, Telford, United Kingdom, Stretton became famous for her moral and spiritually-oriented tales, which resonated deeply with her audience. Her most well-known work, Jessica's First Prayer, was highly successful and sold over a million and a half copies by the late 19th century, far surpassing even Alice in Wonderland in terms of sales. Her works, which often emphasized themes of faith, redemption, and the moral development of young people, became staples of religious literature for children in Victorian England. Throughout her career, Stretton s books were cherished for their ability to instill Christian values in young minds, and her influence grew alongside the rising popularity of evangelical movements. Stretton passed away on October 8, 1911, at the age of 79 in Ham, London. Her legacy endures in the lasting impact of her writings, which continue to be admired for their deep moral insight and dedication to spiritual education.
