Martin Justine, Martin Plain Mary Smith: A Romance of Red Saunders Produced by David Garcia, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Plain Mary Smith: A Romance of Red Saunders" by Henry Wallace Phillips is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a rural setting, centering on the protagonist, William De La Tour Saunders, and his tumultuous relationship with his parents, particularly with his father, who struggles with strict, punitive beliefs. Amidst themes of family conflict, young aspirations, and romance, the narrative sets the stage for William's journey as he seeks independence and understanding in a world full of familial expectations and societal pressures. At the start of the novel, William reflects on his family dynamics, highlighting the stark contrast between his compassionate mother and his harsh, uncompromising father. Through a series of vivid recollections, we learn about William's childhood, his interactions with local children, and the incidents that contribute to his rebellious nature. Tensions escalate as William grapples with his father's criticisms, culminating in a destructive accident involving a railroad engine. This key moment leads to a confrontation that forces William to leave home in search of a place where he can embrace his identity and find acceptance. The opening portion not only establishes the characters and their relationships but also hints at William's adventures to come as he navigates life beyond the confines of his upbringing.
