It was a time of tranquility and turmoil. When Oliver Otis, a seventy-eight-year-old widower, fell in love, the realization shook him to the core. What was he to do about it? The daily silences of his Quaker faith, which usually brought him insight, failed to enlighten him now. He longed to unburden his heart… but his daughter was in England and wouldn't understand. The couple sharing his Rhode Island farm had all they could do to raise their son and build their own careers. That left Loveday Mead herself, but Oliver dared not imagine her reaction.
