About this book
A clergyman's confident words of comfort give way to hesitation when he turns to his own family troubles. In Chellaston, Quebec, Robert Trenholme serves as both college principal and church rector. After advising a troubled visitor, he struggles over a letter to his brother, with whom he has disagreed about work and their father's past. The careful rewriting exposes private unease beneath his polished public manner.
L. Dougall places these personal concerns within an immigrant community where religious expectation meets the demands of daily life. Fourteen-year-old Winifred talks with Mrs. Martha, the housekeeper, about old Cameron and his belief in the Second Advent. Their exchange moves from family responsibilities to the practical question of watching and waiting while still working and sleeping. Through such conversations, the novel offers readers a close view of faith, uncertainty and the different meanings people give to the same events.
