Straight forward or walking in the light: A story for school girls of all ages focuses on the experiences of young girls as they navigate the challenges of growing up within a structured school environment. The novel highlights the importance of maintaining personal integrity and the struggle to remain true to one s values while facing peer pressure and societal expectations. It emphasizes the significance of friendship as a source of strength during moments of uncertainty and the influence of contrasting personalities on the journey of self-discovery. The story draws attention to the difficulties of managing limited resources with prudence while surrounded by those who may not share the same sense of responsibility. It reflects on the broader idea of moral growth through everyday decisions and the quiet resilience required to stay committed to a path of honesty and self-respect. The setting of a boarding school serves as a backdrop for these lessons, providing a space where choices and character are shaped in meaningful ways.
Autorenporträt
American writer Lucy Ellen Guernsey was born in Rochester, New York, on August 12, 1826, and died on November 3, 1899. Despite never having children of her own, she was a fervent supporter of moral development and early education in children. She produced nearly 60 novels during her most prolific years (1855 85), the majority of which were picked up by the American Sunday School Union for publication. She was involved in the founding of the Home for Aged Women and organized the first sewing school for children from working-class families. She was a prominent part of the Rochester community. In addition to becoming the president of the Christ Church Missionary Society (1881 85), she taught an adult biblical class for Sunday School and wrote the prominent religious journal The Parish Visitor. James T. and Electra Guernsey were the parents of Lucy and her sister Clara. Her father, James, was a philanthropist and businessman from the Rochester area who contributed to the moral and cultural development of his western New York neighborhood.
