"Watch—Work—Wait" by Sarah A. Myers is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows the life of a young orphan boy named William Raymond as he navigates through significant hardships and trials after the deaths of both his parents. This poignant tale emphasizes themes of faith, resilience, and the importance of moral integrity, illustrating how divine support can guide individuals through life's adversities. The opening portion introduces us to William's world, depicting his idyllic childhood in a picturesque village before tragedy strikes. As an orphan, he grapples with overwhelming grief and is thrust into a life of struggle. Following the death of his father, William is taken under the guardianship of a shoemaker in New York City, where he faces new challenges, including the harshness of urban life and the temptations of dishonesty. Through conversations and interactions with the adults in his life, particularly his pious mother and strict master, we begin to see William's internal conflict as he strives to maintain his integrity amidst adversity, setting the stage for his journey toward maturity and moral fortitude.
