Tonight, we'll read the next chapter of Good Wives, written by Louisa May Alcott, titled The Valley of the Shadow.

This is also known as the second half of the little women novel, and is considered the 40th

chapter as part of that work as a whole. In the last episode, Lori lingered in Nice for a month, growing closer to Amy,
