| Summary | "The Unseen Hand; or, James Renfew and His Boy Helpers" by Elijah Kellogg is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the life of James Renfew, a young redemptioner in early America who, after a difficult childhood in a workhouse, finds himself taken in by the Whitman family. The novel explores themes of kindness, redemption, and the potential for personal growth through compassion and support. The opening of the novel introduces us to James Renfew, who arrives at the Whitman homestead as a vulnerable orphan marked by past neglect and hardship. The Whitman family, comprised of Bradford, Alice, and their three children, responds with warmth and care upon meeting him, despite his initial silence and demeanor that reflect his troubled history. The narrative reveals Mr. Whitman's internal conflict regarding employing a redemptioner while highlighting the children's eagerness to befriend James, setting up a foundation of hope and transformation that will unfold as they work to help him integrate into the family and community.
