Katherine's Sheaves

A young woman returns to a women's seminary while practicing Christian Science and strives to honor a faculty prohibition against promoting her faith. The narrative follows episodic campus life—roommate troubles, club activities, public talks, and a stray waif subplot—while introducing a sympathetic physician and a conflicted professor. Through demonstrations of spiritual healing, personal loyalty, and moral persuasion she addresses dilemmas faced by classmates and visitors, negotiates family and institutional expectations, and helps resolve social tensions. The story culminates in a consequential errand and a quiet resolution that reconciles belief, duty, and community relationships.
