Summary "Over Paradise Ridge" by Maria Thompson Daviess is a romance novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the character Betty and her relationship with Samuel Foster Crittenden, who has chosen a life of farming over his promising ambitions in the city. With themes of love, sacrifice, and the clash between rural and urban life, the narrative explores Betty's struggle to reconcile her feelings for Sam, her own aspirations, and her loyalty to her friends, particularly Peter Vandyne, a poet. The opening of the novel introduces us to Betty's internal conflict as she grapples with her feelings for Sam, who now leads a humble life as a farmer. Their childhood friendship has evolved into something deeper, yet Sam's life choices leave Betty feeling torn between her affection for him and her societal expectations. As she reflects on their shared past and the decisions they have both made, we see a glimpse of Betty’s desire to lead a meaningful life defined by her own choices. The first chapter sets the stage for a poignant exploration of love and personal ambition amidst the backdrop of pastoral life, ultimately encouraging the reader to ponder the sacrifice that often accompanies heartfelt decisions.
