Clotho's Loom (Chapters 1 and 2, of 19)

CLOTHO’S LOOM is the story of a man and woman who met and married before they were ready. They are torn apart just at the moment when they should most be together, her mid-life pregnancy. The next year is devoted to adventures that mature them, while they seek reunion. While all events, like Will’s military reactivation, appear to conspire against them, StJean questions whether the forces of chance and Fate, as well as ignorant human will, are not actually working together for ultimate good.
