Publisher's Synopsis
Roger Berkeley's Probation: A Story is a novel written by Helen Campbell and first published in 1888. The story revolves around the titular character, Roger Berkeley, a young man who is sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. After being released on probation, Roger struggles to rebuild his life and reputation in a society that is quick to judge him based on his criminal record. As he navigates the challenges of probation, Roger must also confront the demons of his past and come to terms with his own sense of guilt and responsibility. Along the way, he is aided by a cast of sympathetic characters, including a kind-hearted probation officer and a wise old judge. Through Roger's journey, Campbell explores themes of justice, redemption, and the power of forgiveness. The novel is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, and a timeless reminder of the importance of compassion and understanding in a world that often seems quick to condemn.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
