'King's Daughter' Summary
'King's Daughter' follows Dell Bronson, a young woman who has been raised by her refined uncle and aunt in Boston. At the age of eighteen, she is summoned by her father, a tavern owner in Lewiston, Maine. Dell's upbringing instilled in her strong Christian values, a stark contrast to her father's life of alcohol and coarse behavior. Determined to honor her faith and win her father's soul, Dell embarks on a mission to guide him towards a more spiritual path, challenging his habits and advocating for the temperance movement. As Dell confronts the harsh realities of her father's life and the moral struggles of the town, she faces difficult choices and experiences the complexities of family relationships. The story unfolds against the backdrop of 19th-century American society, where religious conviction and social reform intertwine with personal journeys of faith and redemption. Through Dell's unwavering commitment to her faith and her heartfelt efforts to bridge the gap between her father's world and her own, the novel explores the power of love, forgiveness, and the enduring influence of faith in shaping individuals and families.Book Details
