Flush of Gold informs us of a regrettable story—an unexpected event changes the fickle heroine into a constant woman. What has happened? Unlike the first story, In the Forest of the North exhibits the great love of a woman for a man. The man's wife, Thom, protects her husband, determined and steadfast. In When God Laughs, we see a special love story between Marvin Fiske and Ethel Baird, who believe that "love denied was love alive," and "love granted was love deceased." Therefore, they never kiss...When belief is incompatible with love, what will a man choose? Will he remain faithful to his conversion to Christianity, and to live uprightly? Or, will he turn to love for comfort? In reading Keesh, Son of Keesh, you will find out to what extent a man shall do for love.
