About This Book

The narrative follows a reserved, industrious woman who runs a small rural farm and maintains strict self-reliance and household order. She develops a quiet attachment to a former farm-servant, but a blow to her brother’s head leaves him mentally impaired and forces her into long, patient care that complicates prospects of marriage. The story portrays rural customs and labor, the strain of family duty, and the tension between personal desire and steadfast responsibility.
