Great Expectations
In these pages is the history of a boy named Pip—poor, hopeful, and wholly unprepared for the great expectations that fate, folly, and a fortune not his own thrust upon him. It is a tale of shadows and illusions: of a convict with a secret, a lady who stopped her clocks, and a young man who must learn that gentility cannot be bought with coin, nor character with clothing. Pip’s journey from forge to finery is paved with mistakes, softened by loyalty, and haunted by love—the kind that dazzles and deceives. This is not a story of riches gained, but of illusions lost, and the quiet redemption found when a man finally sees clearly what he once saw dimly: himself. —C.D.
