Summary "Left to Ourselves; or, John Headley's Promise" by Catharine Shaw is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the Headley family, particularly the challenges faced by the eldest daughter, Agnes, as she navigates her responsibilities in her mother's absence. Themes such as familial bonds, trust, and moral guidance emerge prominently in this opening, setting the stage for a narrative rich with allegorical elements related to faith and personal growth. At the start of the story, Agnes seeks assurance from her mother about her ability to care for her younger siblings while their mother journeys to America to visit their ailing grandmother. Mrs. Headley expresses her fears about leaving her five children together, highlighting Agnes's maturity and the responsibilities that come with it. As the children engage in tender conversations about trust and their mother's absence, the narrative hints at the trials they'll face. This beginning effectively establishes the emotional undertone and introduces key characters, suggesting that, while the plot will explore the challenges of growing up and familial love, it will also delve into deeper moral and spiritual themes that the Headley family must confront.
