<br/><br/> Beautifully imagined and deeply compassionate, this is the story of two sisters--one a missionary in Africa and the other an abused child wife living in the South--who sustain their loyalty to and trust in each other across time, distance, and silence. This classic novel of American literature is rich with passion, pain, inspiration, and an indomitable love of life.
