Description

Blair Harvey arrives in Exeter with high hopes and a degree from Oxford, but his life takes an unexpected turn after a chance encounter at Exeter Fair. Seeking spiritual refuge, he becomes involved with Dr. Percy Brougham's daughter Susannah, and their marriage sets him on a path of inheritance and prosperity. However, when Blair witnesses the wreck of a ship off the Devon coast, he is conscience-stricken and undergoes an extraordinary conversion to Christianity. Obedient to the teachings of the Plymouth Brethren, he sells his possessions and establishes a community of Believers on the edge of Dartmoor, embracing hardship and poverty. As the years pass, Blair's rigid adherence to the exclusivist teachings of the Plymouth Brethren destroys his family, prosperity, and peace of mind, ultimately leading to a life of tragic consequences.
