The story of Peter Marshall: Confidant to the powerful. Friend to all. Man of God. Peter Marshall was known for his clear-eyed humility, infectious humor, and practical insights into the ways of God. His riveting sermons caught the attention of all who heard him, including his future wife, Catherine Wood. In his journey from Scottish immigrant to one of America’s best-loved preachers, he engaged straight from the heart with people from all walks of life.

Her faith is challenged and her heart is torn between two strong men with conflicting views about how to care for the families of the Cove.
