Beneath the Bending Skies
Buy the book from:
Mollie Sheehan has organised her life around obedience to a controlling father, even when his decisions repeatedly destroy her hopes. Her love for Peter Ronan grows in 1860s Montana, but paternal opposition separates them and sends Mollie to California before changing circumstances bring the relationship back into reach.
The novel is based on a marriage later connected with the Flathead Indian Agency and the politics of reservation administration. Mollie’s Christian maturity requires more than dutiful submission: she must discern a higher authority, claim moral agency and decide what honouring family can mean when a parent misuses power.
