| Summary | "The Shoemaker" by Olive Harper is a historical novel, likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Morris Goldberg, a Jewish shoemaker who has immigrated to America from Russia with his family, seeking a better life. The narrative explores themes of struggle, resilience, and the immigrant experience, including the challenges faced by Goldberg and his daughter Dora as they navigate their newfound freedom in a difficult environment. The opening of the book establishes the backdrop of Morris's humble shop located in a rundown area of New York City. We are introduced to his relentless work ethic and deep love for his daughter Dora, who is growing into a beautiful young woman but is haunted by the memory of her deceased mother. As Morris juggles the demands of his small business, we see his hope for a promising future for his daughter amidst their daily struggles. The presence of other characters, including a simple boy named Loney and the grim realities surrounding them, lays the foundation for a rich tapestry of human emotion and the darker aspects of urban life, hinting at the conflicts and choices that will follow in their journey.
