Maggie and Val struggle through the shock and devastation of Val contracting tuberculosis, being quarantined, and spending time in TB sanitariums. In a one room house built near their main house, Maggie lives with him for seven years, caring for him and watching him waste away. She deals with her grief and anger vowing to be strong without shedding tears. Their devoted love for each other and for the Lord sustain them as they trust in Him for strength and guidance. When Val dies, Maggie sheds no tears, although left with eight children to rear. Ruling with an iron hand, she struggles with hardship and poverty in her quest for their survival. Keeping her vow, vacillating between anger and bitterness, and her faith in the Lord, she comes to the end of herself and trusts Him for strength and courage in a time of seemingly hopeless circumstances.
