Stranded in a burgeoning San Francisco in the spring of 1849 after losing their father at sea to Cholera, Rachel Van Buren and her two young siblings are thrust into the midst of a Godless society. The city touting a “gold rush” that beckoned to countless fortune seekers, including their well-intentioned father, is nothing but a muddy village of tents and framed structures. With no ships leaving the coast, no home and no income, it is up to Rachel to protect her family from this hedonistic city overflowing with lost souls and failed dreams.
The Measure Of A Lady is a poignant novel filled with honesty and revelation. Life is difficult no matter who you are or what your circumstances. God does not promise a perfect life free from trials, tests and temptations to those who believe. Yet Rachel preservers with integrity, piety and finally humility as she becomes the woman God made her to be.
