| Summary | "Dr. Lavendar's People" by Margaret Wade Campbell Deland is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the quaint town of Old Chester, the book revolves around the lives of its residents, particularly focusing on the intertwined relationships and societal expectations. The narrative primarily follows the lives of Miss Ellen Baily, her delicate brother David, and their interactions with Dr. Lavendar and the Reverend Mr. Spangler, hinting at themes of love, duty, and sacrifice. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Miss Ellen Baily, who runs a small school from her home while supporting her melancholic brother, David. David, haunted by a past love, struggles with finding purpose in life, having failed in various careers. The arrival of Mr. Spangler, the new clergyman, disrupts the delicate balance of their lives, leading to unexpected developments. As the characters navigate their emotions and societal roles, Miss Ellen must confront her responsibilities towards her brother and her budding feelings towards Mr. Spangler, all while the town observes with a curious eye. The opening sets up a rich, character-driven narrative that promises deeper explorations of human relationships and moral dilemmas as the story unfolds.
