To Everything a Season

Ralph Cobden’s refusal at the age of eighteen to take over the family farm has disastrous effects and leaves him with a burden of guilt. By his early thirties he suffers a series of losses that destroy his mental well‐being. Grief results in eccentric and potentially self‐destructive behaviour. Professional help and the loving support of close friends are needed for him to survive. The result is an uplifting story of triumph over grief.
