Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Satan Sanderson" by Hallie Erminie Rives is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around complicated family dynamics, particularly focusing on the strained relationship between the wealthy but embittered David Stires and his wayward son, Hugh. The plot unfolds against the backdrop of societal expectations and moral dilemmas, particularly as a young minister, Harry Sanderson, becomes entwined in the lives of the Stires family and the blind ward, Jessica Holme. The opening of the novel introduces a tense scene in which David Stires is revising his will, revealing his contempt for Hugh's reckless behavior, which he perceives as a betrayal. The story quickly establishes the contrasting characters of Hugh, a prodigal son struggling with his identity and failures, and Harry, a new priest displaying a magnetic but complex personality. As the scene plays out in the lavish library on a warm May night, a moral question looms about forgiveness and redemption, with the blind Jessica standing out as an innocent figure caught in a web of familial strife. This sets the tone for a narrative exploring themes of duty, consequence, and the search for personal salvation against the backdrop of societal judgment.
