The Christmas Hearth

"The Christmas Hearth" follows the Reverend Lawrence Ingleby, cast off by his proud father Sir Marmaduke for marrying a farmer's daughter and taking a meager curacy in a bleak northern parish. Sustained by his warm wife Carry and their sharp-eyed son Frederick, Lawrence endures years of poverty and silence. When Frederick grows up to become a barrister and unknowingly defends his estranged grandfather in court, the encounter sets in motion a reckoning that has been decades in the making — and a Christmas Eve reunion neither man expected.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
