| Summary | "The Adopted Daughter: A Tale for Young Persons" by Elizabeth Sandham is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story follows Mrs. Meridith, the heiress of two estates, as she navigates personal losses, her early memories with the Campbells—her foster family—and her desire to contribute positively to her community after returning to her childhood home. The narrative explores themes of kindness, compassion, and the importance of social responsibility, particularly through the character of Mrs. Meridith as she looks to care for those around her. The opening of the tale introduces us to Mrs. Meridith's return to Rosewood after significant personal loss, including the death of her husband and the unfortunate demise of her mother during childbirth. As she reconnects with her past and the families who cared for her, especially the Campbells, she resolves to utilize her wealth to improve the lives of the villagers, emphasizing her commitment to kindness and support for those in need. The text highlights her affectionate relationship with the Campbells and her determination to adopt their orphaned child, Anna, to provide her with a better life while also enriching her own. This sets a poignant tone for the story, inviting young readers to consider the values of empathy, gratitude, and community. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
