Summary: "The Melting of Molly" by Maria Thompson Daviess is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the protagonist, Molly Carter, a young widow navigating her new life and the complications of love, social expectations, and self-image.

At the start of the novel, we meet Molly as she reflects on her life as a widow and her aspirations to regain her former beauty and happiness.
