| Summary | "Drusilla with a Million" by Elizabeth Cooper is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Drusilla Doane, a seemingly unremarkable elderly woman living in a home for elderly ladies, who learns that she is the last living descendant of a wealthy family with an unexpected fortune left to her. The narrative explores themes of loneliness, self-discovery, and the rediscovery of life’s joys late in life as Drusilla navigates her newfound wealth and freedom. The opening of the book introduces Drusilla in a moment of suspense, as she is summoned to meet two men who have come to deliver astonishing news. The old ladies in her home buzz with curiosity about the mysterious visitors, creating an atmosphere ripe with speculation. When Drusilla learns that she has inherited a million dollars from a distant relative, it marks a profound turning point in her life. The men’s announcement not only reveals her unexpected fortune but also serves as a catalyst for her journey of self-reclamation as she transitions from a life of mundane tasks and invisible service to one filled with possibilities and the rediscovery of her identity and worth.
