From the back of the book:
Elsie couldn't stop her tears, and she clung to her father as she sobbed. "Oh, Papa. Can it be true that I don't love Jesus as much as I used to?" "Is that all, dear? I think you are being a bit silly," replied Horace.
After she had gone, Horace thought about the strange incident. "I wonder if I will ever understand her. How often I seem to hurt her when I mean only to please."
In this sequel to Elsie's Endless Wait, readers travel once more to the pre-Civil War world of Elsie Dinsmore, the little heiress deprived of a parent's love until she was almost nine years old. Elsie and her father seem to have reconciled, but can Horace Dinsmore ever accept his daughter's Christian faith? Or will his pride lead to tragic consequences? What is the terrible decision Elsie must make?
