Fiction Family Life
Among the green hills and trees of Lancashire, only a few
miles from the sea, lies the beautiful and ancient estate of
Ashton Park. The year is 1916. The First World War has engulfed Europe
and Sir William's and Lady Elizabeth's three sons are all in
uniform--and their four daughters are involved in various
pursuits of the heart and soul. As the head of a strong Church of England family for
generations, Sir William insists the Danforth estate hold
morning devotions that include both family and staff.
However, he is also an MP and away at Westminster in London
whenever Parliament is sitting. During his long absences,
Lady Elizabeth discreetly spends time in the company of the
head cook of the manor, Mrs. Longstaff, who is her best
friend and confidante. This friendship includes visits to a
small Baptist church in Liverpool that exposes Lady
Elizabeth to a less formal approach to Christian worship and
preaching than she is used to and which she comes to enjoy.
