| Summary | "Leave it to Doris" by Ethel Hueston is a novel written in the early 20th century. It revolves around the life of the Artman family, particularly focusing on Doris, who takes on the responsibility of managing their household after their mother’s passing. As the story unfolds, it explores themes of familial duty, personal ambition, and the subtleties of growing up in a minister’s household. At the start of the novel, we see the Reverend Mr. Artman and his daughter Doris in their cozy parsonage, tackling the challenge of domestic life while preparing for the arrival of Miss Carlton, their housekeeper. Doris embodies a proactive spirit, believing she can manage the family without outside help, despite her father’s uncertainty. The opening chapters introduce key family dynamics, particularly the humorous and endearing exchanges between Doris and her father, as well as with her sisters, particularly the enchanting and impulsive Rosalie. This blend of warmth, humor, and relatable challenges sets the stage for a heartfelt exploration of the trials and triumphs of a tight-knit family navigating life’s complexities.
