The Right Thing

"The Right Thing" by Ray Cummings is a tale of love and tough choices set in a quiet cabin. A young woman named Beth is visited by her wounded sweetheart, Tom, but their reunion is shadowed by the threat of her cruel stepfather. Beth stands firmly for what is right, a value passed down from her mother. When her stepfather turns up dead and suspicion falls on Tom, Beth is trapped in a moral maze. She must choose between her feelings for Tom and her duty to justice, ultimately showing the hard choices we sometimes make when love and right don't align.
