"Taken or Left" by Mrs. O. F. Walton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy named Peter and his close relationship with his younger sister, Salome, within a large family struggling through life's difficulties. With themes of innocence, family ties, and moral challenges, the novel explores Peter's journey as he navigates love, loss, and the significance of integrity. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Peter, the third of ten boys in a hardworking household. His mother often wears herself thin caring for the family, while their father runs a modest grocery shop. The narrative describes the household's dynamics and the warm bond Peter shares with his little sister, Salome, who is adored by all. As Peter recounts his youthful days, the opening chapters hint at impending conflicts and moral dilemmas when Peter loses some of his father's money and faces the temptation to conceal the truth. This sets the stage for the themes of redemption and the importance of faith as the storyline unfolds further through trials and tribulations in their lives.
