Hopes and Fears

At the parish school in London, you taught Joseph's dream to children for whom growing wheat was entirely unknown. Does the corn truly stand like that in a field before anyone grinds it, Miss Honor? You step into this one-chapter preview with Humfrey Charlecote at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. At the edge of the pines, home waited for your account while Owen's uncertain road already stretched beyond it. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
