(Richard Aumerle) The Shepherd of the North Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Shepherd of the North" by Richard Aumerle Maher is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is centered around the character Bishop Joseph Winthrop of Alden as he embarks on a challenging journey through harsh winter landscapes, aimed at providing spiritual care in a remote community. The narrative explores themes of faith, community, personal sacrifice, and the impact of the past on present lives, particularly as the bishop interacts with the local characters he encounters, such as the brave French-Canadian Arsene LaComb and the struggling family of Tom Lansing. The opening of the book introduces us to the Bishop and his companion Arsene as they navigate through snowy terrain toward a village for a confirmation ceremony. Their journey is filled with challenges, including a harrowing tumble into the snow, which showcases camaraderie and courage amidst adversity. Upon reaching the Lansing household, they find Tom Lansing gravely injured, and his daughter Ruth desperately trying to revive him. The bishop quickly takes charge, applying his limited medical skills while wrestling with memories of his past. This opening portion sets a poignant tone for the narrative, promising a blend of human struggle, growth, and the intersection of faith and personal duty as seen through the eyes of the bishop and the characters around him.
