Summary: "Mildred's New Daughter" by Martha Finley is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the lives of the Eldon children—Ethel, Blanche, Harry, and baby Nannette—as they struggle through the loss of their parents and navigate their new, challenging lives with relatives. The opening chapters depict their tender moments of childhood innocence amidst the harrowing circumstances of grief and separation, laying the foundation for themes of resilience, family bonds, and the search for belonging. The beginning of the book introduces the Eldon family as they awaken to the hopeful news that their ailing father has improved. However, this optimism is short-lived as tragedy soon strikes, leaving the children orphaned and at the mercy of relatives who have differing views on raising them. Ethel emerges as a nurturing figure determined to care for her siblings even as they face the harshness of their new environment under the strict supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Coote. As they struggle to adapt to their new life, the children cling to each other, striving to maintain the warmth of their familial bond despite the challenges they encounter, creating a poignant setup for their journey ahead.
