"Two Secrets and A Man of His Word" by Hesba Stretton is a poignant novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a tight-knit family consisting of Joanna, her invalid daughter Charlotte, and her husband Amos, who is a dedicated postman. As they navigate their humble lives, the narrative hints at deeper challenges that will test their bond and reveal secrets that may alter the course of their lives. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Joanna's charming cottage, emblematic of their simple yet fulfilling life filled with love and contentment. Joanna dotes on her daughter Charlotte, whose spinal condition confines her to the attic, while Amos finds joy in his routine as a rural postman. The tranquility of their life is shattered when Amos is late returning home after rescuing a drowning child, ultimately causing him a bout of rheumatic fever after he attempts to deliver important mail. Meanwhile, Joanna faces an impending crisis when she receives troubling news about their cottage's ownership, revealing the precariousness of their situation and hinting at secrets that remain to be uncovered as the story progresses.
