Book excerpt: I find no proof in God's redemptive plan that a woman is any more limited in Christ's ministry than a man is. I see no Biblical evidence. That a woman has any less value to God in public or private Christian ministry than a man has; That the promises, teachings and commands of Chris are not addresses to women the same as they are to men; That a woman should be any more restrained or repressed in sharing the gospel with hurting humanity than a man is; That the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit are any more limited or less effective in a woman's life than in a man's. God is spirit. You and I are His body, His hands to touch with, His eyes to see through, His feet to walk with, His heart to love through, His ears to hear with, His arms to embrace with. Bible believing women all over the world are awakening to their unmitigated stature in the body of Christ and to their equality in God's redemptive plan.

At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother. The two wealthy siblings are thrown back into the poverty their parents had escaped from and find that all they have to count on is one another. It is this unshakeable bond between them that both saves their lives and thwarts their futures.

Despite every outward sign of success, Danny and Maeve are only truly comfortable when they’re together. Throughout their lives they return to the well-worn story of what they’ve lost with humor and rage. But when at last they’re forced to confront the people who left them behind, the relationship between an indulged brother and his ever-protective sister is finally tested.
