About this book

In a period marked by rapid industrialization and shifting social norms, "Cast Adrift" by T. S. Arthur explores the profound impacts of intemperance and ambition on individual lives. This compelling novel intricately weaves the themes of moral consequence and societal expectations through the life of Edith Dinneford, a young mother grappling with the weight of her choices. As she navigates the turbulent waters of personal and social challenges, readers encounter the stark realities of 19th-century America, where the struggle for unalienable rights and the pursuit of happiness are often overshadowed by personal demons. Ideal for students and civic activists, this poignant narrative invites reflection on the enduring relevance of moral integrity and personal responsibility in our lives today.
