About the Book

In 1897, Ernest George Henham, who later wrote under the pseudonym of John Trevena, began his long career as a writer of novels about the Canadian frontier and nineteenth century life in England, usually in rural Dartmoor. His first published novel, God, Man, and the Devil uses both settings as a backdrop for a morality tale about: marital fidelity; divorce; fate and redemption. Edward Goodwin is the innocent spouse of a failed marriage in England. His unfaithful wife, Constance, fabricates grounds for divorce and sends their only child, a son, to him. Before abandoning the little boy and escaping to Canada as a physically ill man, Goodwin leaves funds with a guardian on condition that the financial support cease if his son ever marries. The harsh financial incentive is Goodwin's attempt to shield the boy from marital heartache in the future. Years later, Goodwin is about to be assaulted on the streets of Winnipeg, Canada when 22-year-old Englishman, Edward Walton rescues him. Walton has married an 18-year-old country girl, Hero Everton, in England and pursues employment overseas. Walton is also intent on finding his father in order to seek justice from the man he despises. Goodwin quickly realizes that Walton is his son and is confronted with the dilemma of whether to disclose his identity and how to make amends for his failings as a parent. Back in England, Hero lives with an impoverished uncle and is the subject of amorous advances from 54-year-old, John Walter Strange, a rich divorcee. Strange does not care that Hero is married. When his efforts to attract her attention fail, Strange offers a lucrative bribe to Hero's uncle that the selfish, old man cannot refuse. The two men conspire to destroy Hero's marriage so Strange will have a new wife and her uncle will have a financially secure future. Word of the adulterous plot reaches Walton and Goodwin in Canada and they must decide on a course of action as Hero's marriage is imperiled by men who share religious and moral values contrary to hers. Will Hero and her marriage to Walton be saved? Will Goodwin be able to share the truth about his paternal connection to Walton and find redemption? What twists of fate will the characters face as their lives intersect unexpectedly?
