The Major by Ralph Connor is a novel set in the early 1900s in Canada. The story follows the life of a man named David Bent, who is known as The Major due to his military background. After retiring from the army, David moves to a small town in the Canadian Rockies and becomes a successful businessman. However, David's past catches up with him when his former commanding officer arrives in town, bringing with him a dark secret from David's military days. As David struggles to keep his past hidden, he also faces personal challenges in his relationships with his wife and son. The Major is a story of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of love to overcome even the darkest of secrets.1917. The book begins: Spring had come. Despite the many wet and gusty days which April had thrust in rude challenge upon reluctant May, in the glory of the triumphant sun which flooded the concave blue of heaven and the myriad shaded green of earth, the whole world knew today, the whole world proclaimed that spring had come. The Yearly miracle had been performed. The leaves of the maple trees lining the village street unbound from their winter casings, the violets that lifted brave blue eyes from the vivid grass carpeting the roadside banks, the cherry and plum blossoms in the orchards decking the still leafless trees with their pink and white favors, the timid grain tingeing with green the brown fields that ran up to the village street on every side-all shouted in chorus that spring had come.
