And knowing that Elizabeth will again try everything in her power to separate the two innocent lovers, can Cecilia draw Teddy to her before Elizabeth's return to Edgewood Hall? As Teddy lies unconscious, fighting for his life, can Cecilia find the courage and strength to do battle with Elizabeth-and win! More importantly, can Cecilia find the inner strength to avail herself of God's grace and the timely aid of the new and interesting friends brought into her life?
