L. T. Meade

A novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Rachel Grant, affectionately called marked by her father's severe headaches and her brothers' mischievousness. Rachel's struggle for recognition and self-worth becomes evident through her interactions with her friends, particularly her attempt to impress Rita and Agnes Swan during a tea party that goes awry when unexpected guests arrive. As she attempts to orchestrate a fun afternoon, the chaos escalates when her father abruptly returns home and demands quiet. Despite her worries and the challenges posed by her brothers and their friends, Rachel’s kindness and genuine nature shine through, particularly in her encounters with the charming Dutch boy, Von Marlo, who sees her beyond her self-imposed label of ''Dumps.'' This initial chapter sets the tone for Rachel’s journey of self-discovery and the exploration of the complexities of friendship, family, and the quest for identity amidst societal expectations.
