| Summary | "The Hero of Hill House" by Mabel Hale is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the struggles of a young boy named Austin Hill, who finds himself bearing the tremendous burden of caring for his motherless siblings amid a troubled home dominated by a neglectful father. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the Hill family's quiet and chaotic life in their little farmhouse, where a shadow looms over their happiness due to their father's alcoholism. Austin, the thirteen-year-old protagonist, is portrayed as a responsible and thoughtful boy who steps up to protect and care for his younger siblings after the devastating loss of their mother. The opening chapters depict the family's dynamics, including the loving but sorrowful relationship with their mother, the father's descent into despair and neglect, and Austin's determined efforts to maintain some semblance of normality and unity within the family, all of which set the stage for a poignant exploration of familial duty and survival.
