Will Laurel Worth be able to survive the alien environment into which she and her young family have moved?
Will Laurel Worth~and her marriage~survive the primitive, dangerous environment into which her husband, Justin, has moved the family? Laurel's early experiences in her new home - a two-room, thrown-together logging shack - include the near-fatal rescue of her young child from a rushing river; quarantining herself with a little girl with diphtheria; Justin's kidnapping by moonshiners and a near-death encounter with outlaws. Laurel, the daughter of an esteemed professor, has been a public figure most of her adult life as a well-known speaker for social issues such as women's right to vote. She is also a successful teacher with nurse training. Justin, college educated and already an accomplished, sought-after professional photographer, is an adventurer at heart.. Because of his background and his love for the forest, he impulsively takes a job supervising a logging camp in the remote mountains of western North Carolina. Will their true love for each other stand the test? Will Laurel's faith sustain and empower her? Will Justin overcome his fear of God and come to trust Him? Will they survive? The challenges demand choices. What choices will Laurel make? Set against the background of intriguing national and international historical events from the 1920s through the 1940s, this resolute, patriotic book showcases the indomitable American spirit . . . and the powerful truth that it is not our circumstances but our choices, empowered by God's adequacy, that determine who we become.
