Excerpt from Mildred's Inheritance: Just Her Way; Ann's Own Way
If the violets blooming within the protecting walls of the old rectory garden had suddenly been torn up by the roots and thrown into the street, the change in their surroundings could have been no greater than that which came to Mildred in the first shock of her father's death. She had been like one in a confused dream ever since. Some one had answered the letter from her mother's brother in America, offering her a home. Some one had engaged her passage, and an Old friend of her father's had taken her to Liverpool and put her on board the steamer. Here she sat for the first three days, staring out at the sea, with eyes which saw nothing of its changing beauty, but always only a daisy covered mound in a little churchyard. All the happiness and hope that her life had, ended in that.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of three stories that follow the lives of three young women as they navigate the complexities of society and their own personal struggles. Set during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the stories offer a glimpse into the lives of women during a time of great social and economic change. The first story, "Mildred's Inheritance," follows the journey of a young English orphan who travels to America to live with her uncle after her father's death. The second story, "Just Her Way," tells the tale of a young woman who dreams of escaping her small town and living a life of adventure. The final story, "Ann's Own Way," follows the adventures of a spirited young girl who is determined to break free from the constraints of society's expectations. Through these three stories, the author explores themes of independence, self-discovery, and the challenges faced by women in a rapidly changing world.
