| Summary |
"His Heart's Queen" by Mrs. Georgie Sheldon is a romantic novel written in the late 19th century. The story opens with a tragic accident involving a young lady named Violet Draper Huntington and a gallant carpenter named Wallace Richardson, showcasing their serendipitous encounter during a terrifying ride on a cable car. This gripping beginning sets the tone for themes of love, sacrifice, and social class as Violet navigates her privileged life and the unexpected bond she shares with Wallace. The opening of the book begins in Cincinnati, where a cable car filled with passengers, including Violet and Wallace, is set to make an ascent when disaster strikes. As the car careens downward toward imminent destruction, Wallace bravely attempts to save Violet, resulting in them both surviving the crash but suffering from trauma and injuries. Subsequently, Violet is nursed back to health, leading to a budding relationship between her and Wallace as they confront the impact of societal expectations and their growing affections. The stage is thus set for a story that delves into personal growth, emotional connections, and the challenges posed by the expectations of wealth and family obligations.
