| Summary | "Ella Clinton; or, By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them" by Martha Finley is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around a young orphan named Ella Clinton who, after losing her mother, struggles to navigate her relationship with her strict aunt Prudence, who takes care of her. The book addresses themes of morality, the struggles of childhood, and the importance of virtue and repentance in a young girl's life as seen through Ella's trials and tribulations. The opening of the story introduces Ella as she grapples with feelings of anger and sadness, feeling constrained by her aunt's stern discipline. Ella's personality is depicted as warm-hearted yet prone to carelessness and rebellion, which brings her into continual conflict with her aunt. As she reflects on her mother’s teachings, Ella navigates daily challenges at home and school, highlighting her desire to please her aunt despite the overwhelming frustration it brings her. This struggle underscores the book's central message about the importance of nurturing a kind heart and seeking help from God to cultivate good character, laying the groundwork for Ella's journey toward self-improvement and redemption.
