Summary "Twilight Stories" by Catharine Shaw is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories center around the themes of faith, family, and moral lessons, often conveyed through the interactions of children and their wise Aunt Ruth. Each tale draws on spiritual reflections and biblical promises, offering insights into love, kindness, and the importance of trust in God. The opening portion introduces Aunt Ruth, who has gathered her four young relatives to discuss the concept of God's promises as they embark on a new year. The children express curiosity about their Aunt's plan to focus on biblical assurances daily, referring to them as "tickets" to God's presence. Through informal conversation, Aunt Ruth explains how these "tickets" can bring joy and comfort, facilitating a deeper understanding of faith. The dialogue showcases the children's eagerness to learn and reflect on spiritual truths, setting the stage for the lessons and stories that will follow in the collection.
