Rift Of Dawn

The Rift of Dawn begins surrounded by the deserted remains of the Four Oaks Plantation of yesteryear with a century plant in full bloom. It quickly moves back in time to tell the story of the Randall family, who lived in rural South Carolina following the Civil War. Dawn, their vivacious daughter, attends Edisto Academy, a nearby Christian boarding school. She meets Wade Stewart, a dedicated ministerial student who feels God’s call to foreign missions. Rawl Manning, a handsome college student, captivates Dawn’s attention with his graduate work in the academy’s fine arts department. Later, as an accomplished artist, Rawl is employed by the Randalls to paint a portrait which becomes an intriguing conversation piece. Through many struggles and trying events, Dawn learns the truth of Romans 8:28, “All things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”
