| Summary | "May Brooke" by Anna Hanson Dorsey is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the life of May Brooke, a kind-hearted and resilient young woman navigating her new life under the guardianship of her stern Uncle Stillinghast, while also dealing with her recently arrived cousin, Helen, who faces her own struggles. The themes of family dynamics, personal growth, and the exploration of faith weave through the story as May strives to create a sense of home amidst challenge and adversity. The opening of "May Brooke" introduces us to May and her uncle, a bitter man whose past disappointments have soured his view of the world and those around him, particularly women. As May awaits the arrival of her cousin Helen, who has just lost her family, we see May’s compassionate nature in contrast to her uncle's harshness. Upon Helen's arrival, we witness the beginning of a complex relationship as May attempts to comfort and guide Helen through their new, difficult living situation. The narrative begins to explore their dynamics, hinting at the challenges and transformations both characters will experience as they learn to navigate their circumstances within their uncle's household.
