A young pastor arrives at Ingleside carrying an inexplicable grief. Marion Howard, a devoted young woman, spends her days teaching music to the wealthy and her evenings among the poor. Neither knows that God will use them to restore a town-and each other-to faith.
When Reverend Harold Angus preaches his first sermon at Grantbury, the congregation finds his doctrine sound, yet senses something is amiss in his heart. Only Marion seems untouched by the town's whispers. As illness sweeps the mill district and long-hidden secrets emerge, Ingleside becomes the story of a community turning from performance to faith, from charity to love, and from grief to grace.
First published in 1888 and returned to print for the first time in over a century, Ingleside is the most mature novel by one of the nineteenth century's most beloved and prolific Christian authors.'
