Faith, Honor, and Love Florance Drury Farris

In the McGee Valley, God has begun to heal the hearts of three women. Katelyn who lost father and mother before her eighth birthday, must now face the loss of another, her youngest brother. He leaves behind his young bride, Grace, who carries their first child and the pain of his passing. Then a mysterious woman, who is brought to the valley more dead than alive. In the loving hands of God, they will begin to understand the scripture ... weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning. Out of the ashes of sorrow often arises a rich gift, the gift of `love'. Through time one might have observed the way men pay respect to the beauty of a woman. It mattered not if it were the virtues of the heart or the loveliness of her face. He always approached her with a gift. Flowers, that paled in her beauty, words that never told quite the depth of her charm, and he spoke of a promise of love. Man had pursued and been pursued throughout all time and that has been the mystery of this custom. Man has never really known when he ceased to pursue and became the pursued. In the words of Katelyn Cathleen McGee, "It is a grand game."
