Summary: "Re-creations" by Grace Livingston Hill is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Cornelia Copley, a young woman who finds herself abruptly leaving college to return home due to her mother's health issues, ultimately feeling disillusioned with the new reality her family faces. As she grapples with the loss of her academic dreams and the struggles of her family, the narrative explores themes of sacrifice, responsibility, and the pursuit of personal aspirations against familial obligations. The opening of the novel introduces Cornelia as she departs from college, filled with sadness over her unfulfilled dreams and a lack of understanding from her family about her ambitions. After receiving a distressing letter from her father about her mother's illness, she boards the train reluctantly, reflecting on her past joys and lamenting her future. Upon arriving home, she is confronted with the disarray of her new living situation, including the challenges of her father's change in circumstances and the evident struggles of her siblings. As her realization of the family's needs deepens, Cornelia begins to take on the responsibility of homemaking, vowing to make her family's life better despite her own disappointments. This sets the stage for her journey of self-discovery and growth as she learns to balance her dreams with the reality of her family's situation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
