The Dwelling Place of Light — Volume 1

"The Dwelling Place of Light — Volume 1" by Winston Churchill is a story set in a time of big changes, where a man named Edward Bumpus feels lost and misses the way things used to be. He’s trying to figure out who he is as his family tries to make sense of a world that’s quickly becoming modern. Edward's life as a mill gatekeeper shows how far his once-respected New England family has fallen, and he can't help but think about the past. His wife Hannah is tough and deals with things as they come, while his daughters each want something different: Janet dreams of a bigger life, and Lise gets caught up in new, fun things. Their lives get mixed up with all the changes happening around them, making things both exciting and hard.
