| Summary | "Fern's Hollow" by Hesba Stretton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the life of young Stephen Fern, who lives with his family in a humble cottage at Fern's Hollow, nestled among the hills. As Stephen navigates the struggles of poverty, family responsibility, and the challenges posed by a cruel landowner, the narrative explores themes of resilience, morality, and the desire for a better life. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the picturesque but harsh landscape around Fern's Hollow and the difficult circumstances faced by Stephen's family. Stephen's father, James Fern, is gravely ill, and there are hints of a troubled past involving the grandfather, who has a history related to a long prison sentence. As James Fern passes away, Stephen is confronted with the weight of his family's future and the duty to care for his younger sister and grandfather. The story sets a poignant tone, establishing the hardships and moral dilemmas that Stephen will face in his quest to uphold his family's legacy against the oppressive forces surrounding them.
