Synopsis
Kate Orme was in love -- until she learned her lover's terrible secret. But she married him anyway, out of a sense of obligation . . . and she loved their son, Dick, with all her heart. And she worried for him, even after his father passed -- worried that he'd have to face the same moral crossroads that had destroyed his father.

About the Author
Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer and designer. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Wharton combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humorous, incisive novels and short stories of social and psychological insight. She was well acquainted with many of her era's other literary and public figures, including Theodore Roosevelt.
From Library Journal
Originally published by Scribners in 1903, this is the story of Kate Orme, who marries a man of weak moral character. When they have a child, she fears that the sins of the father will be the sins of their son. Kate dedicates herself to instilling morality in the boy as he grows, especially after her husband dies. This is a typical Wharton examination of upper-crust society strewn with flaws.
