AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'LYDIA and Ruth were sisters whose lives differed greatly. For Ruth was happy—in love with her husband, and well satisfied to play nurse to Lydia, crippled and bitter, who nursed in her heart a secret that not even Ruth could guess. For Lydia loved Jonathan, her sister’s husband—loved him and hated her sister. She set out to break up her sister’s marriage, but her attempts ended in tragedy for all of them.'
