| Summary | "The Web of Time" by Robert E. Knowles is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book appears to explore themes of struggle, family dynamics, and redemption, centering around the lives of the Simmons family as they confront personal and societal challenges in a small community. The opening introduces Harvey Simmons, a young boy grappling with the harsh realities of his father's alcoholism, and his mother, Annie, whose love for her family is overshadowed by her husband's destructive behavior. The beginning of the story paints a poignant picture of Annie Simmons anxiously waiting for her husband, revealing her conflicted feelings of love and fear due to his alcoholism. As she tries to create a semblance of normalcy for her children, the narrative highlights the toll that addiction takes on family life. The opening scene also foreshadows tragedy when a desperate encounter unfolds, leading to the death of a baby in a distressing and chaotic moment. As the story progresses, themes of hope and resilience intertwine, reflecting the challenges faced by the Simmons family as they navigate their circumstances.
