A Hero of the Pen Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by Google books "A Hero of the Pen" by E. Werner is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a small town on the Mississippi in the year 1871, focusing on the complex relationships between its characters, notably between the beautiful but solemn Jane Forest, her ill father, and her suitor, Mr. Alison, as they navigate societal expectations and personal desires amidst impending tragedy. The narrative delves into themes of love, obligation, and identity, hinting at the depths and burdens carried by each character. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Jane Forest, who is in her family’s lavish home while grappling with her father's terminal illness. Amidst this tension, she and Mr. Alison discuss his upcoming trip to Europe and their mutual affection, which they agree to keep secret for the time being due to the solemnity of her father's condition. The scene highlights Jane's complexity—her serious demeanor is juxtaposed with the warmth of her feelings for Alison. As she prepares to meet her father's wishes, she must also come to terms with her own future and the haunting absence of a brother she has never known, setting the stage for both personal and familial exploration as the story progresses.
