| Summary | "The Daughter of a Republican" by Bernie Babcock is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores the lives of two families from contrasting social backgrounds, focusing on their struggles and the impact of alcoholism on their lives. The story introduces the Crowley family, particularly the daughter Maggie, who faces immense hardship, as well as the Thorn family, with a strong-willed daughter, Jean, who becomes an advocate for change. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the Crowley family, living in a state of dire poverty during a harsh winter. The family's mother lies sick in bed, while the children, particularly the courageous Maggie, attempt to care for her and find their father, who is frequently absent due to his alcoholism. The opening portion sets a somber tone, revealing the bleak conditions they endure and foreshadowing the challenges they will face as they navigate their difficult circumstances. Meanwhile, we also meet Judge Thorn and his daughter, Jean, who is portrayed as intelligent and socially aware, particularly regarding social issues such as temperance and women's rights, suggesting themes of activism and moral responsibility that will be further explored throughout the narrative.
