Thy Brother's Wife: 1 (Passover 1)

The direction of Paul and Sean Cronins lives was shaped the day their father a self-made multimillionaire decided that one of his boys would grow up to be a cardinal while the other would become president of the United States.. For his elder son Paul the father had even chosen a wife―the beautiful Nora who had come to the Cronin home as an orphan child years before. Obediently and with a genuine vocation the younger son Sean went into the priesthood. With a more cynical view Paul went to Notre Dame to prepare for a life in politics until the Korean War intervened. Then came the news―Paul Cronin was missing in action.. If he dies Seans father told him you must leave the seminary and marry Nora. The words sang in Seans head. Could he renounce his sacred calling―and marry the girl he had always loved?. Long out of print Thy Brothers Wife is a classic tale by one of Americas most loved storytellers.
