Summary "The Angel Over the Right Shoulder; Or, The Beginning of a New Year" by H. Trusta is a narrative written in the early 1850s. This book can be classified as a moral tale or a work of inspirational fiction, focusing on the inner struggles of a woman balancing her personal aspirations with her domestic responsibilities. The narrative explores themes of duty, self-worth, and the significance of seemingly mundane tasks in a woman's life. In the story, Mrs. James, a dedicated wife and mother, grapples with her sense of purpose as she attempts to carve out time for her own interests amidst the whirlwind of household duties and family interruptions. Despite her husband's good intentions to allow her personal time, she faces continual distractions that hinder her efforts to engage with her studies. Throughout her journey, Mrs. James experiences feelings of disappointment and frustration with her unfulfilled aspirations. However, after a profound dream in which she observes the angels recording her life's efforts—both the trivial acts of care and the shortcomings—she awakens with renewed hope and resolution. Embracing her role within her family, she finds dignity in her responsibilities, understanding that her everyday efforts are, in fact, significant to her own growth and fulfillment.
