Summary: "The Golden Bird" by Maria Thompson Daviess is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Ann Craddock, a young woman facing sudden financial hardship after her father's loss of fortune, who embarks on a quest to establish a new life by raising chickens. As Ann navigates her newfound responsibilities with determination and a sense of adventure, the narrative unfolds against the backdrop of rural life in the Harpeth Valley, blending elements of humor, romance, and personal growth. At the start of the novel, Ann is introduced as a spirited and resourceful character, realizing that her immediate need is not just love, but also financial security. After selling her luxury items to purchase a prized rooster and a flock of hens, she finds herself returning to her family's ancestral home, Elmnest. During her journey, she encounters various characters, including her childhood friend Matthew, who proposes marriage, and Adam, a mysterious woodsman who helps her with her chickens. The opening chapters set the tone for Ann's adventures and struggles as she attempts to transform her life through poultry farming while grappling with her emotions and budding relationships.
