George Leatrim

"George Leatrim" by Susanna Moodie is a 19th-century story about doing what is wrong even if you mean well. The book looks at important topics like doing the right thing, trust in a higher power, and what happens when people are judged unfairly. It tells the heartbreaking story of a clergyman, Dr. Leatrim, his son, George, and how a false accusation changes their lives forever. When money goes missing from the church, the servant blames an innocent George, and his own father punishes him without knowing the truth. This leads to a series of sad events, ending with George's death and his father's regret, ultimately highlighting the need for understanding and forgiveness.
