A Daughter's Silent Vigil

By Catharine Dobbs

Innocence accused. Courage awakens.

In the shadowed lanes of East London, young Anna Newman lives a quiet life as the daughter of a kind but eccentric clergyman. But when her mother dies suddenly, everything unravels. Miss Bingham-charming to outsiders, cruel behind closed doors-brings fear and isolation to Anna's once-loving home.

Forced to leave the city when her father's spiritual practices stir scandal among Church authorities, Anna is uprooted to the remote parish of Oakbridge Saint Mary, a village steeped in legends of miracles and lost pilgrims.

There, Anna meets Michael, a bright village boy with dreams of becoming a clergyman. In his friendship, she finds a flicker of hope.

But that fragile peace is shattered when a false accusation threatens Michael's future-and Anna's heart.

With Miss Bingham's growing influence and her father sinking into despair, Anna must summon the courage to break free. A promise from her godfather offers a glimmer of hope.

Will Anna risk everything to protect the ones she loves?

A sweeping tale of courage, injustice, and a love that dares to grow where shadows fall.
