Walton is torn between his desire for material success and his longing for spiritual fulfillment.The second part of the book features a series of short stories that explore the lives of various characters who are struggling with their own inner demons. These stories are interconnected and are meant to illustrate the universal nature of human suffering and the power of love and redemption.Throughout the book, Macdonald weaves together themes of religion, morality, and human nature.
