Summary "Uncle Terry: A Story of the Maine Coast" by Charles Clark Munn is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of Silas "Uncle Terry" Terry, the kind-hearted keeper of a lighthouse on Southport Island, and the sweet, adopted daughter Telly, who has grown up under his care. The narrative captures elements of adventure, family dynamics, and the beauty of coastal life, woven with poignant moments reflecting on loss and identity. The opening of the book sets a vivid scene with Uncle Terry coming home during a fierce storm, highlighting his character as a weathered yet cheerful figure who displays both warmth and humor. As he interacts with his wife, Aunt Lissy, and prepares for supper, we learn about the circumstances of his life, including the rescue of a baby girl from a shipwreck who is now Telly. The background of Telly's origins infuses the atmosphere with a touch of mystery and an emotional depth that hints at her future journey of discovery, setting the tone for the unfolding story of family, belonging, and the challenges that each character will face.
