"Footprints" by Kay Cleaver Strahan is a novel written in the late 1920s. The story revolves around Judith Quilter Whitefield, a widow and member of a prominent family in Oregon, who struggles with family secrets and past traumas as she navigates her relationships. The novel begins with Judith’s arrival at a hotel, where she is introduced to the dynamics of upper-class society, revealing her past and the enigmatic troubles surrounding her family. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Judith as she ventures through the hotel lobby and prepares to meet her brother, Neal Quilter. This initial glimpse establishes a complex familial backdrop, with hints of past tragedies, particularly the unresolved murder of Judith and Neal’s father, Richard Quilter. Neal's psychological struggles surface early on, leading to a gripping dialogue where he confesses to feeling guilty over their father's death. Their interactions blend elements of intrigue and emotional depth, indicating that the narrative will tackle themes of guilt, family loyalty, and the burden of past actions. The stage is set for a story that interweaves mystery and introspection as Judith seeks to understand her family's legacy while grappling with Neal's troubling revelations.
