The protagonist of the tale is Beulah Benton, a young orphan with moral integrity and firm beliefs. Beulah has experienced many obstacles and misfortunes throughout her life, such as monetary difficulties, familial strife, and emotional issues. Love, morality, and the search for one's own identity and fulfilment are among the topics covered in the book. Beulah is presented as a morally upright woman who is committed to upholding her integrity in the face of difficulty. The American South serves as the backdrop for the story, which offers insights on the social and cultural climate of the day. Known for her romantic and dramatic writing, Augusta J. Evans use "Beulah" to tackle moral and ethical dilemmas, frequently weaving Christian themes into the narrative. The author's opinions on women's roles and the value of character in overcoming obstacles in life are reflected in the book.
This novel is about Beulah, a woman who despite her chances to have a "perfect" life refuses to submit to convention. Much of the book focuses on philosophy as a justification for her position and at other times a condemnation of her actions. A wonderful read for the deep thinker. Definitely not beach reading....
