Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "Monica's Choice" by Flora E. Berry is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Monica Beauchamp, a spirited and rebellious fifteen-year-old girl navigating the challenges of adolescence while living with her strict grandmother, Mrs. Beauchamp. From the outset, the narrative sets the stage for Monica's internal struggles and her longing for connection and friendship, particularly with peers who may offer an escape from her rigid upbringing. The opening of the book introduces us to the tense relationship between Monica and her grandmother, who constantly worries about Monica's unruly behavior and rebellious nature. After a series of reprimands, Monica learns she will be sent to a day school, which she initially views with excitement, believing it will allow her to make friends. However, this new chapter is marked by her clashes with authority figures, including her governesses. As Monica begins her school life, she quickly becomes drawn to her new classmate, Olive Franklyn, suggesting a glimmer of hope for genuine connection amidst the challenges posed by her upbringing and her own tempestuous nature. The overarching themes of identity, authority, and the quest for companionship begin to take shape, promising further exploration as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
