| Summary | "Benefits Forgot: A Story of Lincoln and Mother Love" by Honoré Willsie is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of family, sacrifice, and the deep bond between a mother and her son against the backdrop of the pre-Civil War era and the war itself. It portrays the challenges faced by the protagonist, Jason Wilkins, as he navigates his ambitions and relationships while being influenced by the moral and social values of his time. The story follows Jason Wilkins, a young boy who grows to become a surgeon during the Civil War, and his close relationship with his mother, who sacrifices much for his education and future. As the narrative unfolds, Jason grapples with the complexities of his upbringing under a Methodist minister father, the harsh realities of their financial struggles, and his yearning for independence. When he joins the army to serve as a surgeon, he becomes acutely aware of the sacrifices made by his mother, culminating in a poignant encounter with President Lincoln, who admonishes him for neglecting his mother's emotional needs. This transformative experience drives Jason to reconcile his feelings toward both his parents, realizing the profound love and sacrifices they made for him. Throughout the novel, themes of gratitude, forgiveness, and the enduring power of maternal love resonate, making it a moving tribute to familial bonds. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
