Summary "The Thorn in the Nest" by Martha Finley is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the late 18th century, the story centers around Kenneth Clendenin, a recently graduated doctor preparing for a journey to the Northwestern Territory, which is the area that later becomes Ohio. The narrative explores themes of family bonds, courage, and the challenges of pioneer life, particularly through the relationships Kenneth has with his family, especially with his mother and younger sister, Marian. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Kenneth as he returns home after completing a significant phase of his medical training. The opening chapter provides a vivid description of his home and family life, showcasing the strong emotional ties and impending separation that arise as he prepares to embark on a journey to fulfill his aspirations as a physician. The interactions among Kenneth, his loving mother, and sister reveal the warmth of their family relationship, yet are tinged with sadness as they face the challenges of his departure. Overall, the beginning sets the stage for Kenneth's adventures and the trials he will confront in both his professional and personal life as he navigates the complexities of building a new future in a frontier environment.
