Greenacre Girls by Izola L. Forrester
"Greenacre Girls" by Izola L. Forrester is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the lives of the Robbins family, particularly focusing on the experiences and emotions of the sisters—Kit, Jean, Helen, Doris—as they navigate significant changes in their lives due to their father's illness and their imminent move to Gilead Center, a rural setting. The book delves into themes of family dynamics, resilience, and the transition froma city lifestyle to one rooted in the countryside. At the start of the novel, tensions rise in the Robbins household as the sisters prepare for their father's return from a long illness. Kit is portrayed as the energetic, optimistic one trying to keep spirits high, while Jean quietly bears the weight of responsibility. The narrative vividly captures their interactions, from planning a Valentine’s party to expressing concern for their mother's wellbeing, amidst the anxiety of their father's health. The introduction of Cousin Roxana brings a mix of humor and wisdom, providing support to the family during this trying time. As they confront the uncertainty of their future, the girls simultaneously express excitement about their new lives while grappling with the emotional challenges ahead.
