Summary "Peggy" by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Peggy Montfort as she navigates her new life at Miss Russell's School, experiencing the challenges of fitting in, battling homesickness, and forming friendships. The narrative sets the stage for exploring themes of personal growth, resilience, and the complexities of social dynamics within a school setting. At the start of the novel, Peggy arrives at her new school, feeling overwhelmed and out of place. After a comical yet awkward introduction in front of her classmates, she wrestles with feelings of loneliness and homesickness as she adjusts to her bare and unfamiliar surroundings. As she begins to unpack her trunk filled with treasured memories from home, she meets Bertha Haughton, who becomes her first friend. The opening chapters establish Peggy's character as spirited and kind-hearted, portraying her struggle to find her footing in a new environment while also highlighting the cruelty of her peers, especially towards a timid classmate, Lobelia Parkins. Throughout this initial segment, the reader is introduced to the social cliques and strong personalities within the school, setting the stage for Peggy’s journey and growth as a central character.
