Although a kind, well-intentioned man, he does not realise the effect his sympathies are having on his parish, nor on those who are close to him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis wife, Myra, feels neglected and unloved and finds herself taking an unhealthy interest in Keith Wilson, a young discharged prisoner whom Ralph has befriended. His orphaned niece, Sarah, too, feels herself alone and unwanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes dramatic events to bring home to Ralph the knowledge that his personal obligations must come before his devotion to the cause. Instead of choosing the role of a martyr, he must perform an act of apparent cowardice to begin a fresh start.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143789658352,"sku":"9781509819249","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781509819249_p0.jpg?v=1763722788","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781509819249","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
