| Summary | "The Wyndham Girls" by Marion Ames Taggart is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on the lives of the Wyndham sisters, Jessamy and Barbara, along with their cousin Phyllis, as they navigate the complexities of youth, friendship, and change after a sudden financial crisis alters their once comfortable lives. As these young women grapple with their new realities, they strive to maintain their dignity while discovering their own strengths and potential. The opening of the book introduces the three main characters who are preparing for the upcoming social season, excited about choosing gowns for the elegant dance events at Bar Harbor. However, their cheerful plans are quickly overshadowed by a visit from Mr. Hurd, a lawyer who delivers devastating news of their family's financial ruin due to the failure of the Wyndham Iron Company. This pivotal moment shatters their world of privilege and elegance, leading them to confront the harsh realities of their new situation as they attempt to adjust to their drastically changed circumstances. The contrast between their former life and the challenges they now face forms the emotional core of the story, setting the stage for their journey toward resilience and self-discovery.
