| Summary | "The Hope of Happiness" by Meredith Nicholson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Bruce Storrs, a young man grappling with the revelation of his mother’s past and the complex emotions stemming from her confession regarding his true paternity. As he navigates the challenges of establishing himself in a new city and confronting his familial legacy, themes of identity, aspiration, and the search for belonging emerge. The opening of the novel introduces Bruce as he swims in a tranquil river, reflecting on the summer's ease, before he immerses himself in reading letters from his deceased mother that reveal the hidden truths of his parentage. These letters not only uncover a long-buried secret but shape Bruce's resolve to learn about his biological father, Franklin Mills, who lives in the same city to which he has come. As Bruce absorbs his mother's words, he contemplates the implications of his mixed heritage and sets off on a journey that promises to not only test his character but also lead him to new friendships and opportunities as he enters the vibrant social life of the city.
