Judge Burnham's Daughters

Ruth Erskine Burnham has spent years trying to hold her household together, but her husband's daughters from his first marriage have turned their backs on everything she values most, her faith, her principles, her quiet insistence on grace over compromise. The daily tension of loving people who despise what she loves most has eroded something essential in her: the strong, certain faith of her younger years. Her only comfort is her frail five-year-old son, a child who needs her in ways her stepdaughters never will. When her own spiritual crisis reaches its breaking point, Ruth must choose: will she surrender to the weariness that has been slowly consuming her, or will she find her way back to the convictions that once made her whole? A poignant exploration of what it means to remain faithful when fidelity costs you everything, and whether love, even when unreciprocated, can be its own kind of redemption.
