The Girls at Mount Morris by Amanda M. Douglas
"The Girls at Mount Morris" by Amanda M. Douglas is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Lilian Boyd, a determined and ambitious girl who sacrifices her dreams of education to support her ailing mother. As they transition from a life of struggle to a new opportunity at Mount Morris Seminary, Lilian grapples with class differences, aspirations, and her desire for personal growth. At the start of
the novel, Lilian enters a modest home where she finds her mother visibly exhausted from the burdens they face. With limited financial means, Lilian is compelled to take a job in a factory to support their household, which means abandoning her educational dreams. However, a timely letter from a family friend offers them a beacon of hope: a position at the Mount Morris Seminary where they can rebuild their lives. The opening portion sets the stage for Lilian's journey as she navigates challenges and aspirations while fostering a sense of dignity and ambition in her new environment.
