The Tribulations and Triumphs of Life

About the Book

He who walks out of step hears another drum. “Please, Beth dear. Tell me, what could possibly perturb you so much?” “It is simple. Father has not my heart.” Freedom is never guaranteed. For women in 19th century England, complete freedom is a distant thought. But not for Beth Kent. Soon, her father will have her betrothed. Rather than complying and being unhappy, she takes action to create her own happiness. The road is not easy, but she is not alone. Along the way, she meets kind Xavier Goodman, transforms an atrocious blind girl named Bertha, and leaves her mark on the town. Beth is confronted with trials, but she is determined to make her life a triumph. For, instead of letting someone choose her path in life, she makes her own. Her path has obstacles in the way, but in the end, it leads to her one true goal: contentment with herself.
