Summary: "The Hermit's Cave: or, Theodore and Jack" by Eleanora H. Stooke is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around young Theodore, a boy contending with the changes in his life after his father remarries, bringing home a new stepmother and her son, Jack.

At the start of the novel, Theodore navigates the emotional complexities of having a new stepmother and stepbrother, particularly as he grapples with feelings about his deceased mother. The narrative opens with Theodore interacting with John, the gardener, discussing flowers and the significance of seasonal changes, hinting at the themes of continuity and loss.
