Initially, the kind-hearted Lenz sees only the best in Anneles family, but he soon realizes that misplaced trust can lead to heartache.

Facing the looming dangers ahead, they must rely on each other and the support of their loved ones, or their union may be at risk of unraveling entirely! - Summary by Brian Fullen]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6885793/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Fiction</category><copyright>Copyright Fiction Classics</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/cd8fb5164d9d78fcf59847422549eff3.jpg</url><title>Joseph in the Snow, and The Clockmaker.
