From The Force of Example: A tale of family, fault, and the chance for change

The story follows a family where strict discipline and flawed upbringing shape the lives of two sisters and their brothers. Through the eyes of young Henry and Caroline, it reveals how promises, remorse, and steady guidance can help a family heal.

This edition traces a difficult path from misguided behavior to accountability, showing how a caring aunt and a responsible uncle guide the children toward better habits, honest effort, and mutual respect. It places the moral stakes in everyday moments—education, responsibility, generosity, and the courage to confess misdeeds.

Explore how different attitudes toward learning and duty affect character and family life.
See how remorse leads to confession, forgiveness, and real change.
Meet a cast of siblings and guardians whose choices shape a hopeful future.
Witness small acts of kindness and practical lessons that reinforce virtue.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction with clear values, warm family dynamics, and a focus on growth through accountability.
