Baird is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It introduces readers to Miss Eliza Wells, an unconventional woman living in a rural area known as Shintown, who has a propensity for nurturing flowers and following her unique ideas about life. The storyline revolves around her life as she inadvertently becomes responsible for a little girl who has lost her mother in an accident, presenting themes of compassion, individuality, and the complexities of unexpected parenthood. The opening portion of the book sets the stage by describing Eliza's peculiar yet endearing character and the bleakness of her surroundings. It vividly depicts the dilapidated Shintown and Eliza's distinctive home amid the worn-down community. The narrative quickly shifts when she encounters a sleeping woman and child on her way home, leading to a dramatic turn of events involving a runaway horse. Eliza's subsequent actions, driven by a sense of responsibility, pull her into a new life she had not anticipated, filled with a beautiful yet challenging bond with the child, whom she later names Beth. This first chapter lays a strong foundation for exploring Eliza's character development and her evolving relationship with Beth as they navigate their new reality together.
