| Summary |
"Growing Up: A Story of the Girlhood of Judith Mackenzie" by Jennie M. Drinkwater is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of young Judith Mackenzie, exploring her experiences and thoughts as she navigates the complexities of girlhood while caring for her bedridden mother. The narrative is steeped in themes of love, family, and personal growth, as Judith's character develops and matures through her interactions with her mother and other relatives. The opening of the story presents a tender scene between Judith and her mother, where Judith takes joy in sharing her imaginative "pictures" with her mother while she is confined to a wheelchair. The dialogue reveals their strong bond and Judith's ambitions, dreams, and curiosity about the world. Through Judith's storytelling, we see her growing independence and aspirations for the future, including the desire to help her mother gain strength. This introduction sets the tone for a narrative rich in emotional depth and life lessons as Judith learns about love, responsibility, and growing up in a world filled with expectations and challenges.
