| Summary | "Charlie Scott; or, There's Time Enough" is a novel written likely in the late 19th century. The book follows the life of a young boy named Charlie Scott and his experiences growing up, particularly focusing on the themes of loss, resilience, and moral growth after facing the death of his father and adjusting to life thereafter. At the start of the story, we meet Morley Scott, a pilot who anxiously awaits the arrival of ships, while his son Charlie is briefly engaged in fishing with friends on the pier. The narrative quickly shifts as a tragedy unfolds—Morley and his brother tragically drown, leaving Charlie orphaned. The heartbreak deepens when Charlie falls ill after the accident but is kindly taken in by the Heedmans, a couple who decide to adopt him. Through this opening portion, we see Charlie's innocence and optimism despite his profound losses, setting the stage for his journey of personal growth, the establishment of new relationships, and the moral challenges he will face in his new life.
