The Place Beyond the Winds

A young woman raised in a small, remote farming community grows up under a stern father's rigid expectations and religious condemnation, yet develops a steady faith, practical resourcefulness, and a private ritual devotion. She faces local judgments and family disappointment over children and inheritance, secures work and a place of her own through the aid of a community agent, and becomes involved in a courtship that must withstand tests of a man's honour and a woman's determination; their love ultimately endures and is solemnized at the woodland shrine of her childhood.
