Produktbeschreibung

In Victorian England, young Lenore Brown is gratified to be released from a life of drudgery looking after her widowed father and a large family: she is getting married! Fortunately for her, she is a talented seamstress and is able to put food on the table for her own children, while her husband spends all his wages on drink.

The next generation of women has to contend with their husbands' obsession with a new religion--the Russellites, which later becomes the Jehovah's Witnesses. The effect is the same: neglected families, although the financial picture is somewhat improved, and their mates are not given to violence. The reader might well reflect that nothing ever really changes--yet one is impressed and uplifted by the courage and stamina of these women.

Autorenporträt

Once upon a time, Sandra Marie Lewis was a teacher/chairperson in Ontario's public school system. She taught Grades One to Eleven but not all at the same time. It took thirty-two years. Retirement and a pension after those years of work for pay allowed time for creative writing, writing courses and family history research. The link between those pleasures eventually provided an obvious set of facts and a theme for this current novel. Sometimes gardening and genealogy beat out writing for her time. Her two sons, daughters-in-law and five grandchildren are in her heart no matter what she does.
