| Summary |
"Christie Redfern's Troubles" by Margaret M. Robertson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around a young girl named Christie Redfern, who grapples with her sorrowful past and the challenges of her current life following her mother's death. Set against a backdrop of a Scottish family in Canada, the narrative delves into themes of faith, familial duty, and the emotional struggles of childhood. The opening of the story introduces Christie as a sensitive and introspective child, reflecting on her need for support and understanding amid her hardships. As she prays by the brook, her anxiety and yearning for a sense of connection to God emerge. The initial chapters reveal Christie's troubled home life under the care of her Aunt Elsie, who struggles to fill the void left by Christie's mother's absence, and explore Christie's feelings of neglect and her longing for affection as she navigates the expectations placed upon her. The story sets the stage for Christie's emotional journey as she learns to cope with her difficulties and seeks her place in a world that often feels overwhelming.
