Lovers Bound by Pride Endure Five Years of Waiting
Eugenie and Earl Courtney’s romance is tested by poverty and social prudence. Earl leaves for California for wealth, urging Eugenie to wait, while she stays true to a deeper love with Karl Courtney’s sister and a friend. Years later, revelations, fires, and a wedding forge a new union founded on shared fate rather than fortune.
