After the unfortunate death of the Halliburton family patriarch,
Mrs. Halliburton is forced to support her children alone. Living in
a man-favoring society, Mrs. Halliburton struggles to find adequate
work that will not compromise her morals and still earn her a
decent pay. Having been the wife of a church cleric, Mrs.
Halliburton holds a natural and strong reverence for her religion.
As her family struggles through poverty, scandal, shame, and
grieve, Mrs. Halliburton feels that her faith is among the few
things that cannot be taken from her. However, as she allows her
religion to guide her, still barely able to provide for her three
children, her cousins, the Dares, hold much different standards.
Contrasted with her extended family, who live by a code of
convivence, Mrs. Halliburton holds her head high and she attempts
to redeem her family from their social ruin to achieve a
comfortable lifestyle once again. Inspired by some of Mrs. Henry
Wood's own struggles, Mrs. Halliburton's Troubles contains an
authentic and touching narrative of self-help and faith. Through
the portrayal of Mrs. Halliburton's virtuous character and the
classic rags-to-riches storyline, Mrs. Halliburton's Troubles aims
to be an inspirational lesson and promotes moral behavior and
faith. Though based in Victorian ideals, this message still holds
relevance for modern audiences, for both self-reflection and
insight into this historic period. With the detailed depiction of
the class system of Victorian England, and the transition between
them, Mrs. Halliburton's Troubles provides a personal and thorough
perspective of the social order of the mid-to-late 19th century.
This edition of Mrs. Halliburton's Troubles by Mrs. Henry Wood now
features an eye-catching new cover design and is printed in a font
that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this
edition of Mrs. Halliburton's Troubles creates an accessible and
pleasant reading experience for modern audiences while restoring
the original mastery and drama of Mrs. Henry Wood's work.
