| Summary | "The One Moss-Rose" by Philip Bennett Power is a moralistic tale written in the late 19th century. This novel explores themes of suffering, forgiveness, and the significance of humility and gratitude through the lives of its characters. The story contrasts the lives of two boys from very different social backgrounds, highlighting the values that endure beyond material wealth. The narrative centers around young Jacob Dobbin, a crippled boy who cherishes a single moss-rose bush, which becomes a symbol of his innocence and suffering. When James Courtenay, the son of a wealthy squire, carelessly destroys the rose, it leads to Jacob's tragic demise from heartbreak. This incident burdens James with overwhelming guilt, driving him into a feverish state as he grapples with the consequences of his actions. Ultimately, the story culminates in James's redemption as he transforms after a life-altering illness, resulting in a heartfelt reconciliation with Jacob’s father, Leonard Dobbin, and a promise of care for Jacob's legacy. The book serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impacts of kindness, the importance of compassion, and the redemption that can emerge from sorrow.
