| Summary | "Hidden Creek" by Katharine Newlin Burt is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Sheila Arundel, a young woman left penniless and alone after the death of her father, a struggling artist. As she navigates her newfound circumstances, she encounters Sylvester Hudson, the owner of a hotel, who offers her a chance for a fresh start in Millings, a small and rugged town in the West. The opening of "Hidden Creek" introduces readers to the poignant moment of Sheila's loss as she cradles her dying father, Marcus Arundel. Following his passing, young Sheila finds herself utterly alone and struggling with her grief while contemplating the challenges ahead in a world she now perceives as daunting. Soon after, she meets Sylvester Hudson, who, recognizing her plight, offers her employment and a means of escape from her previous life. As Sheila departs New York, she is filled with trepidation about her future in Millings, unsure of how she will adapt to this new and unfamiliar environment. The initial chapters lay the groundwork for Sheila’s journey, exploring themes of loss, resilience, and the search for belonging, setting the stage for her transformation as she navigates her new life.
