| Summary |
"Molly's Treachery" by Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller is a novel written in the late 19th century. This charming story revolves around the struggles of the spirited protagonist, Molly Trueheart, who is caught in a web of familial expectations, social class differences, and her own feelings of loyalty and deceit. With an urge to escape her stuffy life at the Ferndale estate and the oppressive presence of Aunt Thalia, Molly's adventures bloom as she grapples with her ambitions and the complexities of her connections with others. At the start of the book, Molly writes a desperate letter to her sister and Aunt Lucy, pleading to return home, expressing her distaste for Ferndale and the strictness of her aunt. During a brief outing, she becomes intrigued by the neighboring Laurens estate and the secrets that might lie within it. Her playful spirit leads her to a series of misadventures, including a calamitous fall from a tree, after which she encounters Cecil Laurens, setting the stage for an evolving relationship. As she navigates her true identity and the challenges of her life at Ferndale, the reader is drawn into a world filled with youthful mischief and heartfelt dilemmas.
