| Summary | "A Good Woman" by Louis Bromfield is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the life of Emma Downes, a resilient single mother who has built a successful bakery after her husband's departure. Filled with determination, she strives to raise her son, Philip, to embody the virtues she holds dear, while confronting the complexities of his identity and the shadow of his father's legacy. The opening of the novel introduces Emma returning home from a meeting of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, where she discovers a letter from her son, Philip. Initially proud of his missionary work in Africa, Emma is soon shaken by his abrupt decision to abandon this calling. The letter ignites a wave of concern for Philip’s future and the potential influence of his father’s character on him. As she reflects on her past choices and the burden of raising her son alone, Emma grapples with a mix of pride and anxiety regarding Philip's life choices, setting up the central conflict of the narrative.
