"Walter Harland" by Harriet S. Caswell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Walter Harland, a thirteen-year-old boy who faces challenges and transformations in his young life, primarily stemming from his difficult relationship with his employer, Mr. Judson. The narrative unfolds as Walter recalls his memories and decides to share the significant events of his past that shaped who he has become. The opening of the novel sets a reflective and introspective tone as Walter recalls a pivotal moment from his childhood while living with Farmer Judson, who is abusive and harsh. After a significant confrontation where Walter's love for learning and his defiance against Judson’s cruelty come to the forefront, Walter leaves the farm and returns to his family home. The scenes depicted highlight his longing for kindness and appreciation, which he ultimately seeks through education and the warmth of familial bonds. The story promises to explore themes of resilience, personal growth, and the value of education within the comforting backdrop of small-town life in Eastern Canada.
