| Summary | "The Carter Girls' Week-End Camp" by Nell Speed is a novel written in the early 20th century. This book follows the Carter sisters as they navigate the challenges of running a week-end boarding camp in the mountains while juggling family responsibilities and their father’s recovery from illness. The narrative introduces us to Douglas Carter, who, along with her sisters, takes on the responsibility of managing the camp, raising money, and finding joy in their new venture amidst the uncertainties of their family life. At the start of the story, Douglas writes a heartfelt letter to her mother detailing their efforts at the camp, which they started as a means to sustain the family during her father's convalescence. The opening portion sets the tone for the dynamic relationships among the Carter sisters and introduces the variety of characters that will visit their camp, hinting at the social challenges they will face. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes apparent that the arrival of their parents adds to the complexity of their situation, particularly as the girls work hard to balance their responsibilities with the desire for a carefree summer. The mixture of familial love, ambition, and newfound independence forms the crux of their summer adventure. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
