Romance at Red Pines Author:Elizabeth Rice Handford The first time Nathan Wilson saw the town of Red Pines, it seemed to be slumbering peacefully in the hot August sunshine. Before too many days had passed, however, Nathan learned that, actually, Red Pines was smouldering under the heel of an organized racket headed by outwardly respectable Ralph Beckon. But Nathan saw Beckon's true nature the ... more »night he saved Margaret Sharn from the burly racketeer's unwelcome attentions.
A Christian with militant zeal for truth and justice, Nathan moved to wake up the citizenry of Red Pines to their civic responsibilities, to stir them against Beckon and his cohorts. Nathan stood in the forefront of the crusade that seemed hopeless and doomed to failure. Apparently, Nathan's wooing of lovely Margaret Sharn also was destined for failure, for she turned her back on him just when he needed her most.
Courageous, idealistic, naive, unsophisticated -- Nathan was all these and more, but he was to learn that when God intervenes, man's plans often go awry. And that is the truth this story of hard-fought political struggle and equally decisive romantice conflict seeks to unfold.« less
