| Summary |
"Katherine's Sheaves" by Mrs. Georgie Sheldon is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story centers around Katherine Minturn, a new student entering Hilton Seminary, as she navigates the complexities of school life, friendships, and her beliefs as a Christian Scientist within a possibly unsympathetic environment. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Katherine as she arrives at the seminary. We witness her awkward yet determined arrival, her interaction with the gracious teacher Miss Reynolds, and her first glimpse of her classmates, who entertain various reactions to her presence. As she establishes herself in her new surroundings, Katherine must contend with her beliefs clashing with the principal's rigid views, particularly his disapproval of her Christian Science beliefs. This sets the stage for potential conflicts and character development as we move forward in the story, highlighting themes of faith, acceptance, and the struggles of maintaining personal beliefs amidst opposition.
