What They Couldn't - Paperback

by Isabella Alden (Author)

The Cameron family-once wealthy members of the best society-are virtually penniless. Yet there's a rumor in town that a distant relative has singled out one of the Cameron daughters to inherit wealth past counting. But which daughter? As the eldest, Mary Cameron knows she must wed a rich man to save her family from ruin, but her growing friendship with a handsome, impoverished neighbor has her thinking more about her heart and her soul than her pocketbook. And sister Rachel must deal with her own set of admirers, including an unexpected suitor she knows she can never accept. But despite their plans, the Cameron sisters will never know true love until they lay their troubles in God's hands and rely on Him to show the way. This edition of the 1895 classic Christian novel includes a biography of the author.
