Keller, A. I. (Arthur Ignatius) Keller, A.I. A Cry in the Wilderness Produced by Al Haines "A Cry in the Wilderness" by Mary E. Waller is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Marcia Farrell, a young woman seeking escape from the oppressive atmosphere of New York City after a long illness. This quest leads her to a position as a companion to an elderly woman on a farm in Canada, illuminating themes of identity, belonging, and resilience as Marcia grapples with her past and hopes for a new life. The opening of the novel establishes Marcia's discontent with city life as she expresses frustration at the commercialism and harsh conditions she faces. After a particularly taxing day, she makes the impulsive decision to pursue an advertisement for work that promises the fresh air and tranquility of rural existence. The narrative shifts between her physical journey and her emotional struggles, including sharing her background with a woman named Delia Beaseley, who serves as a go-between for her potential employment. As Marcia confronts her personal history, including the mystery surrounding her family, the text foreshadows an exploration of themes that will shape her journey in the wilderness of self-discovery.
