Summary "Thankful Rest" by Annie S. Swan is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around the lives of Joshua Strong and his sister Hepzibah, who live in a quaint homestead named Thankful Rest. When they receive unwelcome news about the death of Hepzibah’s only sister, they find themselves responsible for her sister's orphaned children, a situation that leads to tension as they adjust to their new roles as guardians. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the character of Hepzibah, who is depicted as a strict and hardworking woman consumed by her domestic duties. When the postman delivers a black-edged letter conveying the news of her sister's death, Hepzibah's stolid demeanor begins to crack, revealing her concerns about the implications for her and Joshua. The children, Tom and Lucy, are mentioned briefly as they cling to each other in mourning, setting the stage for the emotional struggles the family will face as they navigate their changed circumstances. The opening chapters effectively establish the dynamics at Thankful Rest and hint at the challenges that lie ahead for both the Strong siblings and the Hurst children.
