"Outside Inn" by Ethel M. Kelley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Nancy Calory Martin, a young woman who unexpectedly inherits a substantial fortune from her uncle and grapples with her newfound wealth while pursuing her dream of opening a tea-room. Striving to balance her ambitions with the responsibilities that come with her legacy, Nancy is caught between her desire for independence and societal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces Nancy as she unpacks valuable china in a dusty basement, emphasizing her practical demeanor and passion for running a tea-room. Her friend Billy tries to help her understand the gravity of her inheritance, revealing that she is now a wealthy heiress. While Nancy initially rejects the idea of her fortune interfering with her dreams, her internal conflict is evident as she cherishes her vision of providing quality food to her community. The dynamics between Nancy, Billy, and other characters hint at the challenges and relationships that will shape her journey, setting the stage for an exploration of life's practicalities versus personal aspirations.
