| Summary | "Stepping Heavenward" by Mrs. E. Prentiss is a fictional novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative primarily follows the life of Katherine ("Katy") Mortimer, a young girl who reflects on her thoughts, feelings, and experiences as she grows from adolescence into adulthood. The story explores themes of personal growth, the struggle with one's character flaws, the quest for spiritual understanding, and the complexities of familial relationships. At the start of the book, we meet Katherine on her sixteenth birthday as she begins a journal reflecting on her life, her relationship with her mother, and her desire to cultivate good character. Katherine's initial resolutions to improve herself are challenged by her hasty temper and the everyday trials of growing up, which she navigates through school and interactions with friends. The opening sets the stage for her ongoing internal conflicts, her relationships with key figures such as her mother and her friends, and the early hints of her spiritual journey. The reader is drawn into her world as she grapples with the expectations of those around her and her desires for personal fulfillment, making it a captivating entry into her story.
