"The Way to Peace" by Margaret Wade Campbell Deland is a novel set in the early 20th century. The book explores the complex dynamics of marriage, personal beliefs, and the search for peace through the lives of its characters, particularly focusing on Athalia Hall and her husband Lewis Hall. As they navigate their relationship amidst differing values and desires, themes of self-identity and community versus individuality come to the fore. The storyline follows Athalia's impulsive desire to visit a Shaker community after an encounter with their serene lifestyle. As she becomes entranced by their principles of communal living and peace, she contemplates leaving her husband to join them. Meanwhile, Lewis grapples with his allegiance to Athalia and the societal repercussions of her choices. The narrative poignantly illustrates the emotional struggles of both characters as they confront their faith, marital vows, and the evolving definitions of home and happiness. Ultimately, the novel examines the sacrifices made for personal beliefs and the intricate balance of love and freedom within the confines of duty. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
