Author Harrison, S. Frances (Susie Frances), 1859-1935
Title Ringfield: A Novel
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "Ringfield: A Novel" by S. Frances Harrison is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the character Reverend Joshua Ringfield, a young Methodist preacher who grapples with his religious duties and personal aspirations as he becomes involved with the community of Juchereau de St. Ignace. Amidst themes of faith, change, and community dynamics, the story explores the development of a new Methodist church initiated by the local mill owner Amable Poussette, and hints at romantic entanglements that challenge Ringfield's commitment to his calling. The opening of "Ringfield" vividly establishes a picturesque setting near the majestic St. Ignace Falls, immersing readers in the natural beauty of the region and contrasting it with the somber realities of the local settlement. We meet Reverend Ringfield, who has been tasked with preaching at this new church, and his interaction with Poussette, a lively character eager to establish the church, offers insight into the complexities of the community's relationships. As Ringfield contemplates his future and feels the weight of his duties, he encounters themes of faith and social change when a mysterious young woman captures his attention in church, foreshadowing potential conflict between his spiritual obligations and personal desires. Through detailed imagery and character-driven storytelling, the novel opens with a rich exploration of life, duty, and the pull of the unexpected. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
