About This Book

A sequence of connected episodes follows a young woman who waits for a letter, witnesses the dismissal and hardship of a friend, and encounters other sufferers, including a man named Jerry whose trial and later faith form a throughline. The narrative moves through domestic scenes, moral conflicts of conscience, medical and hospital incidents, and periods of loneliness and sorrow. Recurring themes include compassion, religious faith, suffering borne for principle, forgiveness, and ultimate consolation, and the story closes by showing how the characters' choices and endurance unfold over the course of ten years.
