Author Leslie, Emma, 1838-1909
Title Kate's ordeal
Credits E-text prepared by Al Haines
Summary "Kate's Ordeal" by Emma Leslie is a novel written during the late 19th century. This coming-of-age story focuses on the trials and tribulations faced by a young girl named Kate Haydon as she embarks on her journey from a small village to the bustling city of London. The book explores themes related to the challenges of growing up, the moral dilemmas associated with choices, and the effects of societal expectations on young women during this period. The narrative centers around Kate's excitement and ambition to leave home for a job in London, working in a baker's shop where her cousin, Marion, is already employed. Initially exhilarated by her new life, Kate soon finds herself swept into a world of temptation and deceit, influenced by her cousin and her new acquaintances. As events unfold, Kate faces serious consequences for her choices—including a wrongful accusation of theft which leads to her imprisonment. Through her struggles, the story delves into her moral conflicts, her feelings of shame, and ultimately her quest for redemption, highlighting the importance of integrity, faith, and support from loved ones in overcoming life's challenges.
