Summary "Doctor Hathern's Daughters: A Story of Virginia, in Four Parts" by Mrs. Mary J. Holmes is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores the lives of the Hathern family, focusing on the three daughters—Fanny, Annie, and Katy—against the backdrop of post-Civil War Virginia. The story delves into themes of family dynamics, social change, and the impact of war on personal relationships. The opening of the story introduces the characters and sets the stage for familial and societal challenges faced by the Hathern sisters after the Civil War. Fanny and Annie, twins with distinct personalities, become guardians of their half-sister Katy after their mother’s passing. As the war ravages their home, the sisters grapple with their father’s unique parenting approach, societal expectations, and their own emotional turmoil as they cope with loss and the arrival of new changes. Through a blend of warmth and conflict, the narrative hints at anticipated developments in their lives, including their father’s mysterious new engagement, foreshadowing both challenges and opportunities for growth within the family.
