Summary: "The Island of Faith" by Margaret E. Sangster is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in a struggling area of New York City, the story revolves around the life of Rose-Marie Thompson, a young woman who works at a Settlement House, where she seeks to uplift the needy and downtrodden in her community while grappling with her own ideals and the harsh realities of life. The opening of the novel introduces us to the gritty environment of a New York slum and highlights Rose-Marie's aspirations to make a difference. She engages in a heated discussion with the Young Doctor, Dr. Blanchard, who holds a cynical view of the neighborhood's residents, referring to them as "like animals." Rose-Marie passionately defends the humanity of the people around her, believing in their potential and goodness. This sets the stage for her character's internal conflict, as she strives to find her place in a community filled with challenges, aspirations, and contrasting ideals of faith and service. As her journey unfolds, she interacts with various characters that embody the struggles and hopes within the Settlement House, promising a rich exploration of compassion and social responsibility.
