A Whaleman's Wife

A tender yet restless romance blooms on a quiet Vermont farm, where a shy young man named Rube longs for the affection of Priscilla, a spirited girl with a mind as sharp as the autumn air. Their banter reveals both the simplicity of their world and the undercurrents of doubt that keep love just out of reach, setting the stage for choices that will carry them far beyond the harvest fields.

When Rube finally sets sail on the sturdy whaler Xiphias, the story shifts to the relentless rhythm of the sea, where danger, camaraderie, and a steadfast Christian faith guide his every step. As the whale‑filled horizons unfold, listeners will feel the tug of duty against desire, the awe of towering leviathans, and the quiet resolve of a man whose heart beats both for the ocean’s call and the promise he left behind.
