The turn of the tide: The story of how Margaret solved her problem is a novel that tells the poignant story of a young girl who, after being lost for four years, returns to her mother and struggles to adjust to her new life of comfort while grappling with her past in the city slums. The novel explores themes of social class, compassion, and personal growth as the girl navigates her relationships with those around her. The opening of the novel introduces the girl, who has just reunited with her mother at their home, filled with nostalgia and bewilderment. The narrative shows her blissful rediscovery of home and her mother s affection, contrasted with her traumatic memories of her past life marked by hardship and survival. As she shares her experiences and remembers the kindness of those she had to leave behind, her mother grapples with the challenge of integrating her daughter's past into their new life. The reader is drawn into the emotional complexity of their relationship as they both seek to find a balance between gratitude and the urge to help those less fortunate.

Eleanor Emily Hodgman Porter was an American novelist born on December 19, 1868, in Littleton, New Hampshire. She is best known for creating the Pollyanna series, beginning with Pollyanna in 1913, which became a cultural sensation due to its portrayal of an optimistic young girl who finds joy in life's chsallenges. Before becoming a novelist, Porter studied at the New England Conservatory of Music. She was the daughter of Francis Fletcher Hodgman and Llewella French Hodgman. While Pollyanna was her most famous work, Porter wrote several other novels, though none achieved the same level of acclaim. Her writing was characterized by its focus on positive themes, resilience, and personal growth. Porter s work continues to be loved for its emphasis on hope and kindness, and her influence can still be seen in the many adaptations and versions of Pollyanna in literature and media. She passed away on May 21, 1920, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the age of 51. Her contributions to children's literature and moral storytelling remain significant in American literary history.
