Kate and Seth sidestep a surprising attraction. Seth feels conflicted when discovering their spiritual gulf. He longs for Kate’s parched faith to heal, while she’s convinced he’s deluding himself with ideas of peace. Seth knows he can’t marry Elizabeth Koger, not after meeting Kate. At a low moment, Kate accepts a date from Willard Wittenberg. She bites her folly when he won’t leave her alone and his history with Elizabeth unveils. A suspicious fire at Seth’s sawmill--one implicating Willard and injuring Seth--creates turbulence. Barely conscious from his injuries, Seth declares his love for Kate. She can’t understand such faith, much less the love offered. Family illnesses reinforce Seth’s tragedy-proof peace. Kate’s heart softens to God and Seth. Joy is restored as only God can. less
