Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "The Story of a Summer; Or, Journal Leaves from Chappaqua" by Cecilia Cleveland is a memoir written in the late 19th century. This work appears to be a personal diary detailing the everyday life and experiences of the author during a summer spent at Chappaqua, New York, as well as insights into her family, particularly focusing on the Greeley family. The narrative involves characters such as Cecilia herself and her relatives, offering a glimpse into their domestic life, interactions with servants and friends, and reflections on past events and relationships. At the start of the memoir, the author expresses a mix of emotions upon returning to Chappaqua after an absence, invoking feelings of sadness and nostalgia due to the events of the past year. Through her observations, Cecilia describes the picturesque surroundings of her home, including details of the grounds and the new house built for her Aunt Mary. The opening portion sets the tone for a contemplative narrative, weaving personal reflections with the simplicity of daily life, interactions at the local church, and engaging with family members as they navigate their routines and emotional landscapes together.
