| Summary | "Little Lost Sister" by Virginia Brooks is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the struggles of young women in a factory setting, particularly focusing on the character of Elsie Welcome, who grapples with poverty, family responsibilities, and the lure of a more glamorous life. The narrative delves into themes of ambition, societal expectations, and the pursuit of personal dreams amid challenging circumstances. At the start of the novel, we meet Elsie Welcome, a factory worker who is determined to seek better wages and a brighter future for herself and her family. As she prepares to confront her foreman about a raise, we gain insight into her frustrations with the grueling conditions of the button mill in Millville. Simultaneously, her older sister, Patience, displays a contrasting sense of contentment with their life, embodying the struggle between ambition and acceptance. The dynamic between these two sisters hints at broader themes that will unfold as the story progresses, including Elsie's interactions with various suitors and her quest for independence, which leads her to contemplate a life beyond Millville.
