"Opening a Chestnut Burr" by Edward Payson Roe tells a delightful romance that delves into the meaning of living a Christian life. The story is told, in part, through the story of Walter Gregory and his neighbors as they navigate life in their city and part through the sermons and philosophical words that come from Roe's experience as a man of faith. Together, they weave a thoughtful and heartwarming tale that has charmed readers for years.
