An intriguing mystery in which Captain Fortescue finds himself torn between two loyalties. Having been educated in the finest schools of England, he enjoyed high society, but kept his true childhood a secret. Then the day came that changed the course of his life. It all started with the mysterious note that could only be read after his father’s death. Will he be able to endure the dramatic challenges he will now face?

It’s a story of the intersection between two very different lives – Marjorie, a girl from a coal-mining community, and Capt. Fortescue – both of which remind us of how, in different circumstances, that suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, character produces hope, a hope that will never leave us ashamed.

Character themes in this story: selflessness, selfishness, virtue and purity.
