Summary "The Torn Bible; Or, Hubert's Best Friend" by Alice Somerton is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the life of a young soldier, Hubert Goodwin, who struggles between the bonds of his family's love and his reckless pursuit of a carefree life. The narrative delves into themes of morality, redemption, and the importance of faith as Hubert's choices bring him both pride and serious consequences, shedding light on the inner turmoil he experiences throughout his journey. At the start of the story, Hubert is depicted as a passionate yet rebellious youth leaving his rural village for military training, much to the sorrow of his devoted parents. The opening chapters establish his troubled relationship with authority and highlight his mother's heartfelt wish for him to read a Bible she gifts him, believing it to be a guiding light. As he embarks on his journey, Hubert’s vanity and desire for adventure overshadow his moral compass, leading to a reckless lifestyle that fosters a growing divide between him and his parents. The author sets the stage for a transformation in Hubert's character, hinting at the profound impact of his choices and the potential for redemption amidst his moral struggles.
