| Summary | "The Pearl of Peace; or, The Little Peacemaker" by Madeline Leslie is a children's novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around themes of friendship, forgiveness, and the importance of being a peacemaker, particularly among young girls. It aims to convey moral lessons about resolving conflicts and fostering kindness and compassion in relationships. The narrative follows the lives of several young girls—Sallie Munson, Hatty Maynard, and Matilda—as they navigate the complex dynamics of friendship, conflict, and emotional turmoil. Sallie struggles with her self-image after her cousin criticizes her dress, leading to anger and strife within her friendships. Hatty, with her positive outlook and caring nature, acts as a mediator, striving to quell the tensions between her friends and encourage forgiveness. Throughout the story, the characters confront various challenges that test their resolve, learn the significance of peace and love, and ultimately experience personal growth. The climax unfolds when Sallie falls gravely ill and Hatty, demonstrating her selflessness, sacrifices her own safety to care for her friend, only to face her fate with grace, reinforcing the novel's message about the blessings of being a peacemaker.
