Once again we meet Ruth Erskine (Four Girls at Chautauqua) now Ruth Burnham. She has become "unequally yoked," and this volume details many trials and heartaches that arise from this situation. Also, though she has managed to hold to her faith, she has done it with such hardness that she has driven her family away not only from her, but also from the Lord. As the story progresses, she sees the error of her ways. She commits herself again to the Lord and begins to live out her faith with a true Christlike love. The result is that her family is slowly drawn closer to her, and eventually to the Lord. This story also highlights the unfortunate results of choosing wrong priorities in the lives of children?focusing too much on the outward appearances rather than on the heart. The sadness and trials that Ruth Erskine, though a Christian, encountered through her own wrong choices and ill-advised decisions, can serve as great warnings to those who might be tempted to follow some of the same paths.
