"This sequel to Portrait of the Past follows the story of Henry Johnson, a man blinded while fighting in the Civil War. Deserted by his young wife, he spends the next twenty years chasing a dream – to establish a training center for blinded adults. When he meets and befriends wealthy widow Beatrice Palmer, his dream seems on the verge of fruition. Unfortunately, a shocking revelation threatens to destroy not only his dream but also his budding love for Beatrice. Will love endure when faced with an uncomfortable truth?"

A bit heavier on the 'love story' than my previous novel, but still focusing on the after-effects of the American Civil War on those who survived it.

Although familiarity with the first book may help understand some of the relationships better, it's not necessary to grasp the nature of the tale.
