The book presents the life and struggles of Rebecca Jarrett, a woman who emerged from a troubled and criminal past to become a devoted Christian worker engaged in the rescue and rehabilitation of women from prostitution. The likely topic of the book is the moral and social reform movement, focusing on the issues of vice, rescue work, and the complexities faced by women who seek redemption and transformation in the face of societal judgment. The book opens with Butler’s personal reflections on the aftermath of a high-profile trial involving Rebecca Jarrett and William Stead, emphasizing Jarrett's controversial role and the public’s harsh judgement. It then provides an honest yet compassionate sketch of Rebecca’s life, tracing her journey from a respectable upbringing through seduction, loss, vice, and eventual criminality as a brothel-keeper, and finally to her conversion and redemption through the influence of caring Christian individuals. Jarrett’s own words, included in the narrative, detail her struggles with addiction, remorse for her role in leading other women into vice, and her eventual work in rescue missions. The account highlights Rebecca’s sincerity, the practical and emotional challenges of reform, and her deep commitment to helping other women escape a life of exploitation, even at great personal risk. Butler’s narrative aims to correct public misconceptions, defend Jarrett’s character, and argue for a more merciful and understanding approach to those seeking to rebuild their lives after profound failure.
