Summary: "Jerry's Reward" by Evelyn Snead Barnett is a fictional children's novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of a small community, the story delves into themes of kindness, courage, and the value of humility. It follows the life of a kind-hearted man named Jerry, who, despite being misunderstood and teased by local children, demonstrates profound love and loyalty to his ailing wife, Peggy. The narrative unfolds in Jefferson Square, where Jerry, known as "Paddy on the Turnpike," scavenges for materials to provide for Peggy's needs. The tale escalates when Peggy overhears a plot by burglars intending to rob their affluent neighbors. Despite her illness, she resolves to warn the Mortons, leading to a series of events that test Jerry’s bravery and commitment. Ultimately, Jerry’s heroic actions during the attempted robbery earn him respect and gratitude from those who once scorned him, fostering a sense of community and understanding that transcends social divides. The story concludes with a heartwarming gesture from the children and their parents, recognizing Jerry’s true worth and solidifying the narrative’s message about kindness and redemption.
