| Summary | "The Story of Jessie" by Mabel Quiller-Couch is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around a young girl named Jessie, who is sent to live with her grandparents, Thomas and Patience Dawson, in a cottage after her mother struggles to provide for her. The narrative explores themes of family, love, sacrifice, and the challenges of growing up in an environment marked by hardship and resilience. At the start of the story, we meet Thomas Dawson, who is preparing for a quiet morning at home when he receives an unexpected letter from his estranged daughter, Lizzie. The letter reveals that Lizzie is struggling with her own family and is sending her daughter Jessie to live with her grandparents. As Jessie arrives, we see the warm but bittersweet dynamic of her new home unfold, as Thomas and Patience grapple with their past while welcoming the child into their lives. The opening chapters set the stage for Jessie’s life with her grandparents, showcasing their love and the challenges they will face as they adjust to having her in their care.
