Summary: "Molly Brown's Orchard Home" by Nell Speed is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Molly Brown and her mother as they embark on what they call their "great adventure"—a journey from Kentucky to Paris. Set against a backdrop of changing fortunes, familial ties, and budding friendships, it explores themes of personal growth, societal expectations, and escapades in the charming city of Paris. The opening portion of the story introduces us to Molly and her complex family dynamics, particularly concerning Aunt Clay, who is opposed to their travel due to an ongoing legal complication involving oil discovered on their land. Amidst the anxiety surrounding their financial situation and Aunt Clay's actions, Molly communicates with friends and family through letters, sharing her excitement for the journey ahead. As they set sail for Antwerp on a steamer, Molly and her mother make acquaintances with fellow passengers, namely the intriguing Kinsella duo and others aboard, hinting at the relationships and adventures they will encounter in their new Parisian life. Their experience aboard the ship is a blend of excitement and trepidation, emphasizing their difference from the more seasoned travelers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
