Deep Waters; Or, A Strange Story by R. H. Crozier

The story follows Ernest Edgefield, a promising young lawyer whose life takes an unexpected turn after he graduates from law school. As he navigates his ambitions and a complex engagement to the wealthy Clara Vanclure, he grapples with personal crises and the conflicting demands of love and faith. At the start ofthe novel, the setting is established during an exciting commencement day at the University of Mississippi, which culminates in the graduation of a distinguished class, including the protagonist, Ernest. Following his graduation, Ernest pursues a legal career while rekindling his relationship with Clara. As he becomes increasingly devoted to his studies, he faces internal struggles ignited by his guardian's warnings and a spiritual awakening sparked by a visiting evangelist. The narrative details Ernest's evolving feelings toward Clara and foreshadows challenges to their engagement, particularly as he encounters a rival in Xerxes Comston, who is equally drawn to Clara. The opening chapters deftly introduce the character dynamics, setting the stage for eventual conflicts between idyllic ambitions and the stark realities of fate.
