"The Pastor's Son" by William W. Walter is a reflective story set in a time when faith and reason clash. It follows Walter, a young, frail man and the son of a reverend, as he faces profound questions about pain, divine will, and his own sickness. Set against the backdrop of a Thanksgiving morning filled with both anticipation and anxiety, the novel explores the family's hardship with Walter's persistent ailment, and the different outlooks of father and son regarding faith. Walter’s internal battle leads him to encounter "Science and Health," which sparks a change in his thinking and a quest for a deeper, more spiritual grasp of his condition. He begins to question deep-rooted beliefs. Walter’s search for answers could shake the foundations of his loved ones' faith and their understanding of God.
