Marion's Faith.

"Marion's Faith" by Charles King is a story that follows army officers grappling with honor, kinship, and love amidst the dangers of frontier life in America during the 1800's. We're introduced to Lieutenant Ray as he rides alongside a senior officer, their talk hinting at family problems and a craving for grand escapades beyond the routine of their station; this sets a scene full of fellowship mixed with the ever-present whisper of looming danger. This tale provides a window into the tensions between personal desires and commitments to one's profession. This focus allows us to see how their paths entwine and test the very core of their commitment and devotion.
