She accepts a position to teach in a school for former slaves in Charleston, South Carolina. A church there that's affiliated with the American Missionary Association offers support, along with room and board at the parsonage. The Ku Klux men are hell-bent on seeing that the new school fails. Lydia's life is threatened, and the parsonage, church, and school are vandalized. But they haven't contended with a strong, determined woman like Lydia before. It also helps that she has a couple potential suitors on her side. A Love to Behold is a tale of people who grow strong in the face of adversity and a church that learns love, compassion, and acceptance, even in the face of cruelty and hatred. 541 $d 20190121. 650 1 $a Teachers $v Fiction. 651 $a United States $x History $y 1865-1898 $v Fiction. 830 $a Forever freedom ; ; $v 3. 941 $a 1 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20200310035228.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C4C9BAB4629511EAAA75F64797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
