In the winter of 1917, Charles and Caroline Whitmore faced more than cold winds sweeping across their Kentucky farm — they faced an empty coal bin and the fear of how to keep their children warm. With only lamplight for comfort, Caroline leaned on old wisdom and quiet faith, finding a way to keep the stove alive through the night. This story is more than one family’s struggle against the cold; it is a reminder that true warmth comes not from coal or cobs, but from the enduring flame of love, perseverance, and faith. Join me, Tracey Campbell, as we step back in time to a farmhouse kitchen where a mother’s steady hands kept both fire and hope alive.
