A series of catastrophes threatens the Dinsmore family. In quick succession they are faced with measles, typhoid fever, separation, and death. Despite all these troubles, Elsie is strengthened in her trust of God, who continues to faithfully provide all her needs. After months of separation, young Elsie is finally reunited with her Lester. During this time Edward and Violet also develop strong romantic interests, Edward with the intriguing Zoe and Violet with the rugged seaman, Captain Raymond, and his children - Max, Lucinda, and Gracie. Join in the unfolding of the young adult lives of Elsie, Edward, and Violet as their love interests mature and eventually make Elsie a grandmother.

It was a delightful morning early in October: the dew-drops on the still green grass of the neatly kept lawn sparkled in the rays of the newly risen sun; the bright waters of the lakelet also as ruffled by the breeze they broke gently about the prow of the pretty row-boat moored to the little wharf; the gardens were gay with bright-hued flowers the trees gorgeous in their autumnal dress.
