Probation is a novel written by Jessie Fothergill in 1880. The book revolves around the life of a young woman named Hester Ogden who is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. After her father's death, Hester is left with a meager inheritance and is forced to live with her aunt and uncle who treat her poorly. Hester is determined to make something of herself and decides to become a teacher. She gets a job at a school and becomes close friends with the headmistress, Miss Temple. However, Hester's past catches up with her when she is accused of stealing from her aunt and uncle. Hester is put on probation and must prove her innocence to clear her name. She is determined to do so and with the help of Miss Temple, she sets out to uncover the truth. Along the way, Hester learns valuable lessons about trust, friendship, and the importance of doing what is right.
