"The Outdoor Girls at Bluff Point; Or a Wreck and a Rescue" by Laura Lee Hope is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story follows a group of adventurous young women, known as the Outdoor Girls, who are navigating their lives amid the backdrop of World War I. The narrative opens with the girls feeling restless and longing for their previous work at Camp Liberty, where they supported soldiers, and introduces their close relationships and camaraderie as they grapple with the realities of war and friendship. The opening of the book presents the Outdoor Girls—Betty, Mollie, Grace, and Amy—gathered in a cozy library discussing their homesickness for Camp Liberty. Their playful banter serves to highlight their strong bonds and the turmoil they feel about the boys they care for, who are now facing the war. As they share letters from their soldier friends, the tone shifts with the arrival of bad news that one of the boys, Will, has been wounded, casting a shadow over their vacation plans. The girls then decide to head to Bluff Point for a much-needed getaway, despite the hasty introduction of their challenges, including vehicular troubles, bad weather, and mounting anxieties about their loved ones at the front. Their journey is portrayed with a mix of light-hearted friendship and underlying tension from the war's impact, setting the stage for the unfolding adventure.
