Produktbeschreibung
Papa's own girl: A novel follows a child s evolution into self-awareness within the framework of familial duty and shifting emotional terrain. The protagonist s early enthusiasm for change marked by the birth of siblings is met with unspoken adult anxieties and subtle emotional rifts. While the initial scenes present youthful optimism, they also foreshadow the slow unveiling of household strain and the internalization of unspoken expectations. Interactions with siblings, peers, and neighbors gradually reveal a tension between personal fulfillment and inherited roles, emphasizing how identity forms under both affection and quiet disapproval. The character's observations and reflections, though filtered through a child s perspective, carry emotional depth, capturing the friction between freedom and constraint. As relationships grow more complex, the novel probes how early family dynamics shape lifelong beliefs, responsibilities, and emotional resilience. The story builds toward a layered understanding of maturity as the central figure moves from passive acceptance to a more nuanced reckoning with personal choice and inherited roles. The result is a portrait of growth shaped by love and obligation within a world defined as much by what is unsaid as what is shared.
Autorenporträt
Marie Stevens Howland was raised in a household that valued learning and self-reliance, which played a foundational role in shaping her progressive ideals. Throughout her life, she was committed to advocating for labor reform, women's rights, and social equity. She develosped a lifelong interest in utopian communities and alternative economic systems. She became deeply involved in movements aimed at reorganizing society along more just and equitable lines. Her writings, often published in reformist periodicals, addressed the intersections of industry, domestic labor, and feminism. Howland believed in the potential for restructured communities to support both individual freedom and collective good. In addition to her work as a writer and advocate, she also participated in public lectures and corresponded with key reformers of her time. Her contributions, though less widely recognized today, offered a clear and reasoned critique of the inequalities of her era and provided a hopeful vision for societal transformation rooted in cooperation and inclusion.
