Passages Between the Columns

The Prichard family's true-to-life story continues in "Passages Between the Columns." Their paper dream fulfilled, Winn and Hope Prichard press on in their small town print shop.

Winn's weekly editorials in The Woodsboro News range from local items to expressing his fiery opinions of state and national issues in the late 1930s and early 1940s.

Volume three accurately portrays a couple's endurance to keep their dream from evaporating with the dawn of trials they never imagined. They realize that God brought them together and miraculously opened the way for them to attain their aspiration of publishing a newspaper. Now they experience the highs and lows of the life they prayed for.

Winn and Hope's love endures though Winn can't, or won't, give up his craving for alcohol. Unexpected appearances of troublesome relatives cause upheaval for Hope. The familiar family members add a mixture of drama and heartfelt love.

A wide spectrum of new characters that bring humor into the series is introduced. The quirky townsfolk will bring a smile and a nod of recognition of someone you know.

Each week Winn writes an editorial, and each week the Prichards encounter unexpected passages between the columns.
