| Summary |
"The Golden Key; Or, A Heart's Silent Worship" by Mrs. Georgie Sheldon is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story focuses on the poignant themes of love, loss, and deception surrounding the lives of its primary characters, including Alice Brewster, her husband Adam, and a nurse named Nancy Porter. The novel's opening sets a tone of drama as these characters grapple with emotional turmoil stemming from the loss of a child and an ensuing secret surrounding an abandoned baby. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to Alice Brewster, who is devastated by the death of her infant daughter shortly after birth. While Alice struggles with her grief, her sister Nancy, a skilled nurse, is determined to support her. The narrative takes a turn when Nancy discovers an abandoned baby with a note attached to her blanket, appealing for someone to care for the child. Overwhelmed by the circumstances and driven by her concern for Alice, Nancy decides to adopt the abandoned baby as her own, hiding the truth from Alice and Adam Brewster. This act of secrecy sets the stage for unfolding drama and complications as the story progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
