"Mostly Mary" by Mary Edward Feehan is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a delightful little girl named Mary Selwyn, who is exuberantly welcoming the arrival of her twin sisters, Berta and Beth. The narrative explores familial love, childhood joys, and the trials of growing up through young Mary’s eyes as she navigates the excitement and challenges that come with becoming an older sister while
also dealing with deeper themes of loss and longing. The beginning of the novel introduces Mary as she joyfully interacts with her father, who surprises her with the news of her new siblings. The chapter delights in Mary’s candid thoughts about her new roles, her longing for companionship, and her imaginative play with dolls and other toys. As Mary expresses her happiness and willingness to share her world with the twins, the narrative sets a tone of innocence and a sense of wonder. This opening portion establishes a foundation of her caring nature, hinting at future challenges, especially as the story unfolds into themes of illness and loss, juxtaposing her youthful optimism with the complexities of life.
