| Summary | "The Witness" by Grace Livingston Hill is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Paul Courtland, a senior at a university, and Stephen Marshall, a pure and innocent freshman who faces bullying from his peers due to his religious beliefs and moral character. The tale unfolds in a campus setting, exploring themes of friendship, courage, faith, and the transformative power of sacrifice. At the start of the narrative, a chaotic scene erupts in the dormitory as students mock and bully Stephen, who maintains his dignity amidst their cruel antics. Paul, although not directly involved in the bullying, observes the event with a mix of amusement and reluctant admiration for Stephen's character. As the tension escalates, a series of tragic events unfold, culminating in a fire at the theater where the students take Stephen, revealing his true bravery when he risks his life to save others. The opening vividly sets the stage for a story that will delve deeply into themes of redemption and the impact of one's choices on their character, as Paul begins to reflect on profound changes within himself following these harrowing experiences.
