About This Book

A woman faces repudiation by her husband and must support herself and their child amid his indifference and stalled artistic ambitions. She pursues steady household management, careful economy, and disciplined schooling for the daughter while urging her husband to renew his work. Years of fluctuating fortunes, revived temptations, and domestic crises reveal past secrets and force hard choices; patient service, repentance, and practical effort produce changed conduct, important revelations, a tentative reunion, and a final renunciation that resolves strained relationships and achieves a measure of moral and personal restoration.
