The Disgrace of the Family

Synopsis

My family was known for its fruitful daughters—every woman who married out gave birth to six, seven, eight kids, sometimes more. I was the only exception. After seven years of marriage to Edward Sinclair, I never once conceived. Finally, his mother had had enough. After humiliating me a hundred times over, she sent me back home. And my father, furious that I had ruined the family's reputation, had me carried to a widower's house the very next day.
