| Summary | "How It Happened" by Kate Langley Bosher is a novel likely written during the early 20th century. The book introduces readers to a young girl named Carmencita who lives in a modest home and grapples with her family's struggles, shaped by poverty and the loss of her mother. With a spirit full of resilience, she explores her desires for beauty and happiness against the backdrop of her challenging environment. At the start of the novel, we meet Carmencita, who expresses her frustration with the remnants of her late mother's gifts—particularly a gaudy hat she loathes. In a moment of cathartic release, she destroys the hat, symbolizing her desire to break free from the burdens of poverty and ugliness that plague her life. Carmencita's vivacious personality shines through as she talks to herself, dances, and prays for good fortune. Readers see her loving relationship with her blind father, her longing for a better life, and her budding dreams for Christmas, which become central to her journey. The opening sets the stage for themes of hope, personal struggle, and the quest for connection, urging readers to witness Carmencita's vibrant world as it unfolds amid hardship.
