Judge Burnham's Daughters

by Pansy (Isabella Macdonald Alden)

Ruth Erskine Burnham, the main character in "Judge Burnham's Daughters," is a woman of strong faith who has dedicated her life to raising her husband's two daughters. However, her stepdaughters have rejected her faith and values, and the constant pressure to compromise has taken a toll on Ruth's own faith. Her only comfort is her sickly 5-year-old son. As Ruth struggles to hold onto her faith and raise her family, she must confront her own doubts and fears. Will she be able to return to the strong faith of her young womanhood, and will her family finally follow?
