Mortgage and Mary Wayne's Choice on a Farm
A distressed year unfolds on the Wayne farm as Josiah and Martha fear losing their home to Deacon Tall's mortgage demands while Mary Wayne, a schoolteacher and hoped helper, contemplates marriage to Matt Mott amid the shadow of the city’s fortune chase and a stern family test of faith. Mary's devotion to her parents contrasts with Matt's city roots and the Wayne family's strict insistence on Christian virtue, setting a tension between dependence on divine providence and pursuit of a life in the metropolis.
