Summary "A Day of Fate" by Edward Payson Roe is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Richard Morton, a determined young newspaper editor whose relentless ambition and work ethic lead to exhaustion and a crisis of purpose. As the narrative unfolds, Richard struggles with his sense of identity and the burdens of his profession while seeking solace in the tranquility of rural life and the allure of new romantic possibilities. The opening of the novel introduces Richard as he grapples with the pressures of his job during a particularly demanding period. Overwhelmed by his workload, he decides to escape to the countryside in search of rest and clarity. Upon arriving at a small village, he finds himself drawn to a Quaker meeting-house, where he encounters a young woman whose beauty captivates him. Despite his initial cynicism, Richard begins to envision a brighter future shaped by his interactions with her and the idyllic simplicity of rural life. This opening sets the stage for Richard's journey of self-discovery, exploring themes of love, ambition, and the search for genuine happiness against the backdrop of his chaotic professional world.
