The Farm of Henry Kaiser

Set in the 1890’s, “The Farm of Henry Kaiser,” concerns a man, Henry Kaiser, and a figurative prison made by Henry’s commitment to his dead wife, Grace, and her dying wish.  Her wish was for her daughter, Gladys, to receive the farm upon marriage. Eve, Henry’s niece, who was taken in by Henry when she was eight, is blamed by Henry for Grace’s death.  Thus, Henry demands that Eve serve the memory of his dead wife. Because he cannot keep workers, Eve works the farm -out of guilt.  Henry knows that if Eve leaves the farm before Gladys marries, the dying wish of his dead wife will not be fulfilled.  But, Eve falls in love with Jake, a stranger with a dire circumstance he cannot escape.  The romantic feelings are mutual.  They are happy -until Henry finds out.  Then, we find out just what lengths Henry will go to in his perverted quest to keep his dead wife’s dream alive.
