A must read for anyone who has children

Taylor Caldwell has written a moving story of a quiet and wise woman who marries a man driven to power by his childhood agonies and poverty. Although the story takes place in 1879-1908, it is particularly poignant for parents today. He spoils his children by lavishing them with everything he has, and in so doing, as observed by his long suffering wife, he avenges his own childhood suffering at the hands of a world run by greed and the twisting of Christianity and capitalism into an unholy alliance. William Prescott never achieves the love of his children which he craves so intensely. Instead, his adopted and first son turns out to be the best of all. His wife constantly shields him from the slings and arrows of his children and herself leads a loveless life, because of his obsession with his children, and because he forgot that one should never put children before a loving spouse. This story is so relevant now where so many parents refuse to discipline their children in their own efforts to exorcise their own often overblown perceptions of an unhappy childhood. This book is really important for new parents to read. The profit they can realise from living with the Prescotts in this book is immense.This is one of Taylor Caldwell's most important books.
