Carolyn of the Corners

"Carolyn of the Corners" by Ruth Belmore Endicott is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Carolyn May Cameron, a young girl who has just lost her parents and is sent to live with her uncle, Joseph Stagg, in a small town called Sunrise Cove. The narrative explores themes of family, loss, and the adjustment to a new home, as Carolyn navigates her relationship with her stern uncle and the enchanting yet challenging world of rural life. At the start of the book, Carolyn arrives at her Uncle Joe's hardware store, accompanied by her beloved dog, Prince. As she meets her uncle for the first time, there is an awkwardness stemming from their unfamiliarity, which is contrasted with the warmth of her genuine affection for Prince. Carolyn's introduction to the town and her uncle's home life unfolds with moments that reveal her innocent perspective. She begins to adjust to her new environment, encountering characters like the aloof Aunty Rose and the rather stern Mr. Stagg, providing the groundwork for the relationships and adventures that will develop throughout the novel. Carolyn's resilience and hope serve as a bright contrast to the sadness of her past, setting the stage for a charming yet poignant tale of healing and belonging.
