Mildred's Inheritance; Just Her Way; Ann's Own Way

A collection of three interconnected children's stories written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the struggles of young girls as they navigate their identities and circumstances. Each story provides a unique perspective on the characters' experiences and emotional journeys, making it a wholesome read for children and adolescents. The first story, ''Mildred's Inheritance,'' follows Mildred Stanhope, a young girl who moves from England to America after the death of her father. Struggling with loneliness and fear in her new surroundings, she gradually learns to embrace her heritage and finds comfort in the kindness of strangers. The second tale, ''Just Her Way,'' features Judith Windham, a girl yearning for adventure and social connection while grappling with her responsibilities at home. Finally, ''Ann's Own Way'' tells the story of young Ann, who desires to wear her beautiful party dress but learns the challenges that come with asserting her independence. Together, these narratives create a portrait of childhood resilience and the universal quest for belonging and self-acceptance.
