The story of a man bound to God-and a woman bound to no man. First published in 1949 and set in Jericho, Kansas, this book by renowned journalist and writer Paul I. Wellman tells the story of an Episcopalian priest, who is a cold and dedicated man haunted by his past, and a rich spoiled beauty. A turbulent story of love, hate and revenge-the story of a man and a woman pitted against overwhelming odds.
