Stephens is a fictional novel written in the mid-19th century. It explores themes of love, betrayal, and the struggles of a young mother, Zulima, as she faces the emotional turmoil of separation from her child and her husband. The narrative dives into the complexities of relationships and the impact of societal perception on individual lives. The opening of the story introduces a deeply emotional scene where Zulima, a young mother, is depicted in a state of sadness and longing for her infant daughter, Myra. As she grapples with her feelings of affection and sorrow, the tension mounts when her husband, Mr. Clark, insists that she must relinquish their child due to societal constraints surrounding their marriage. The narrative unfolds within intimate interactions as Zulima’s love for her child clashes with her sense of duty to her husband. This dramatic beginning sets the stage for the exploration of love, societal expectations, and the painful decisions that come with them, establishing a heartfelt and potentially tragic storyline.
