Summary "Real Folks" by A. D. T. Whitney is a novel that was written during the late 19th century. The book explores the lives and relationships of its characters, particularly focusing on the Shiere sisters, Frank and Laura, as they navigate through personal challenges, family dynamics, and societal expectations in their journeys from childhood to adulthood. At the start of the story, the reader is introduced to two little girls, Frank and Laura Shiere, who are reflecting on their lives while grappling with the illness of their father. They share imaginative thoughts and observations about the world around them, contemplating their mother’s absence and the grim prospects of potentially becoming orphans. As they play hidden away in their home, the children discuss their feelings about their situation and their longing for a mother. The narrative hints at the historical context and the societal norms of their time, establishing a poignant atmosphere that underscores the complexities of family, loss, and childhood innocence, setting the stage for their unfolding lives.
