description: Her father led her to glittering success - but no-one taught her how to love.In A Prologue To Love, Taylor Caldwell has written the profoundly moving novel of Caroline Ames, a woman rich beyond imagining, whose inability to give or accept love, fear of poverty, and hostility brings in their wake tragedy and unhappiness for almost all the lives she touches.Caldwell writes of three generations of the Ames family in and around Boston during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with great insight and compassion.Perhaps Miss Caldwell's most impressive achievement is her ability to evoke the reader's sympathy and understanding for Caroline Ames. It is an inspiring story of the power of love and faith in overcoming evil.
