When Tess makes the last appeal that Angel should marry her sister Liza-Lu, she could not have realised what an improvident request she was making. Although she had their best interests at heart, for she loved them both dearly, could it, in all honesty, be called a lucid, reasonable request? How could the soon to be widowed husband refuse the woman he loved her last wish? But, in spite of the illegality of the union and a protestation based on those grounds, he finally agreed. After a decent period of mourning, the young and naive Liza-Lu becomes Mrs Eliza Louisa Clare. The marriage begins with an idyllic honeymoon and soon Eliza is with the child but contrariety between the couple soon starts to emerge. She, lacking education, wishes to improve herself in order to become his social equal; he, in spite of ambitious plans for their future, wants Liza-Lu to remain an innocent peasant girl to help and support him on the farm. In the ensuing months, Liza-Lu appears to be following in her sisters faltering, sorrowful footsteps. Will her life follow a similar pattern or does she have the necessary sense and sensibility to learn from her sister's mistakes?

In Far From the Madding Crowd, which is perhaps Thomas Hardy's most popular novel, we leave Gabriel Oak and Bathsheba Everdene newly married. Now, many years on, Bathsheba's husband and three almost grown-up children have superseded the three diverse suitors of her youth. Bathsheba's caprice and wilfulness have been replaced with the trials and tribulations of family life. All three children reject the careers chosen for them by their parents to become ever more cosmopolitan in their lives and outlook. As the children mature and make fewer demands on her time, Bathsheba becomes involved with Gabriel's mission to improve the working and living conditions of agricultural labourers. She strives against prejudice to form a women's movement to uphold and promote the rights of Union members' wives. But as Industrialisation filters slowly into Hardy's Victorian rural scenes, the Oak family find Wessex life is changing forever. Is this change for the better?

This book is about a young couple that move to a small town and how the husband is killed and the life of a single mother struggling to find answers as her home is broken into several times.

In her memoir, Marcia Orcutt describes what was unspeakable, unbearable, and unthinkable at the time. She provides a glimpse of how sexual abuse affected her emotionally, cognitively, physically, socially, and spiritually for many years without her knowing it. Her depression was not what it appeared to be at first. When repressed memories of abuse returned after nine very long and painful years of depression, her healing began. Her depression was a symptom of her Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which was triggered by her daughter's birth and her older daughter's age (2) at the time. Her PTSD is an emotional illness caused by the abuse she suffered. Through the darkness and much continuing and often painful therapeutic work which continues to the present (2021), Marcia has also encountered God's immense love for her, which is The Truth. This Truth has enabled her to continue to journey and to heal. God gives her the courage to share this extremely sensitive, complex, dark, but real issue with others. Walking in the light of God's love with others who care has unveiled her shame and revealed her true identity as a child of God.
