| Summary | "True to his Colours" by Reverend Theodore P. Wilson is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative opens in a small village called Crossbourne, which is undergoing significant transformation from a quiet community into a bustling industrial town rife with the challenges of modernity, particularly the problems associated with alcohol and moral decay. The story introduces several characters, notably the skeptical William Foster, whose life reflects the tensions between faith and doubt, as well as the struggles of his wife, Kate, who is caught in the turmoil of her husband's views and their domestic hardships. The opening of the book paints a vivid picture of Crossbourne before and after its industrial boom, establishing a stark contrast between the simplicity of village life and the chaos that comes with progress. We are introduced to William Foster, a skilled but unreliable worker and skeptic, and his wife, Kate, who longs for spiritual fulfillment amidst the disarray of their home life. The narrative hints at the weight of their struggles, as Kate navigates the challenges of motherhood and a troubled marriage, while William embodies the cynicism that repels the solace of faith. As the story unfolds, themes of faith, family, and the transformative power of love and redemption emerge, setting the stage for the characters' journeys through hardship and moral dilemmas in a changing world.
