4.9/5 (26915 ratings)

Description:Mary Donovan is one of those rare people whom each of us has the privilege of knowing—and loving—at least once in our lives. This is her story. It is also the story of an American family and an American town during years that are fresh in the memories of us all. Mary was the only daughter of old J. R. Kent, the town's most prominent citizen, an honorable man whose family had been revered for generations. Tom Donovan was the new salesman in J. R.'s real estate office. Quite by accident he met his employer's daughter one spring day. And that spring they fell in love.Tom Donovan had spent a few wild years with a group of rebellious writers and painters, but he didn't tell Mary much about his past. Someday he said he would write a book that would explain it all to Mary—that would explain a background and a bringing-up so far removed from Mary Kent's with its good living, rich heritage and strong family feeling. In the first years of their marriage, Mary and Tom found laughter and companionship and soaring happiness. All too soon, however, Tom began to feel oppressed by the weight of a tradition and a way of life he could not really understand. The demands of his position became a burden, and he bitterly resented the responsibilities of fatherhood. He could not understand Mary's love for their home and their children. And he became dissatisfied with the life of a business man. A writer at heart, he longed for the old freedom he had known in his "bohemian" days. To Mary Donovan, her husband, her home, and her children were all part of a whole—a whole which she cherished with all her being. She had fought for her marriage with Tom—and she was prepared to fight to make that marriage what it should be. This is the story of Mary Donovan's battle: her fight to preserve a home, her struggle to give her children security in the present and hope for the future. This is the story, too, of a love so strong that it survived heartbreaking emotional ordeals and real disasters.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
