Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Conquering of Kate
It was intended to be a romance of a passing phase of American life, written con amore, out of the imagination, but dealing as it passed with some mysteries of our human nature that are not passing phases, but abiding problems. I have to acknowledge my indebtedness throughout the task, less, indeed, to those formal assistants that so readily leap from the shelves to our hand, than to a kindly magician who came in peaceful hours of isolation, and, like Faith itself, was not only able to remove mountains, but to create them.
