For Honor and Love

Evenwood, a luxurious estate near Philadelphia, becomes the focal point around which the adventures, loves, and fortunes of three young men revolve. There, Morris Halstead becomes the builder of a fabric and clothing empire and employs his wealth to create the area's most admired gardens. There, German immigrant Caspar Ritter works with his uncle to create Evenwood Gardens and is lovingly drawn into the family circle and business. And from there, Rolf von Nida, the arrogant and headstrong son of German nobility, finds forgiveness and redemption from a long neglected friend.

Set between 1860 and 1950, this sweeping novel's characters experience the horrors of war, the great depression, and the rise of the Nazi party in Germany. Each, in his own way, struggles to right past wrongs, to repay great kindnesses, or to satisfy an inner longing to prove himself worthy. Each lives his life boldly, for honor and love.
