A country girl navigates city life, challenging societal norms and staying true to herself.
Polly Milton, a country girl, spends summers with her wealthy friend Fanny Shaw, feeling out of place in the city's high society. As she grows up, Polly's visits challenge the Shaw family to reconsider their values. Despite pressure to conform, Polly remains true to her roots, navigating friendship, love, and societal expectations. Will she maintain her identity amidst the allure of city life?
An Old-Fashioned Girl, written by Louis May Alcott (author of the famous “Little Women” and “Little Men” novels), tells the story of Polly, a country girl who first visits relatives in the city, and later moves there, impacting their lives in far-reaching ways. Great wholesome reading about what’s really important in life.
