Peggy-Alone by Mary Agnes Byrne
"Peggy-Alone" by Mary Agnes Byrne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Alene Dawson, who feels lonely after being left in the care of her Uncle Fred while her parents are away. Dubbed “Peggy-Alone” by her uncle, Alene yearns for companionship and adventure, particularly resonating with a group of local girls who form a club called the Happy-Go-Luckys. The opening of the
novel introduces Alene as she encounters three other young girls while they are picking apples in an orchard. Their initial fright at her dog quickly turns into a budding friendship as they exchange names and stories. Alene expresses her loneliness and desire to be included in their group, highlighting her struggle with isolation and the thrill of meeting new friends. This charming and heartfelt introduction sets the tone for Alene's journey towards overcoming her loneliness while navigating friendships and the dynamics of childhood as she aspires to join the Happy-Go-Luckys.
