Everybody's Lonesome

Clara E. Laughlin

Published in the early 20th century, 'Everybody's Lonesome' by Clara E. Laughlin follows 20-year-old Mary Alice, who feels discontented with her mundane home life and envies the popular girls around her. At her mother's suggestion, she visits her Godmother in New York, who imparts wisdom and a unique 'magic' that helps Mary Alice connect with others and find happiness. This novelette, subtitled 'A True Fairy Story,' emphasizes that the true magic in life comes from within ourselves.
