| Summary |
"Mary Ware in Texas" by Annie F. Johnston is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Mary Ware, a spirited young girl navigating her new life in Texas after moving from Arizona with her family. The narrative captures her yearning for companionship, adventure, and a sense of belonging, as she encounters colorful characters and adjusts to her circumstances in the quaint town of Bauer. The opening of the book introduces Mary as she observes the vibrant scene at a hotel in San Antonio, where she marvels at the social life around her, contrasting sharply with her recent lonely existence in a mining camp. As she watches a group of young people, including a lieutenant and a major's daughter, she feels a deep desire to connect with others and longs for friendship. The narrative quickly showcases her social nature and the transition into her new environment, setting the stage for her continuing journey as she seeks to find a home and ultimately a sense of community in Texas. The tone is light-hearted, infused with the innocent curiosity of youth, as Mary expresses her hopes and dreams amidst her burgeoning experiences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
