Not Under the Law by Grace Livingston Hill

"Not Under the Law" by Grace Livingston Hill is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Joyce Radway, a young woman struggling to find her place after the death of her aunt. We follow her through a challenging day filled with conflict as she navigates life with her unkind cousins, who are dismissive of her dreams of becoming a teacher. The opening of the novel begins with Joyce in the kitchen, preparing a meal amid the chaos created by her cousins, Eugene and Nannette. The tension is palpable as they belittle her aspirations and dismiss her feelings, pushing her toward a breaking point. Determined to take her examinations, Joyce ultimately decides to leave her toxic environment behind, stepping into the unknown with only a small bag of cherished belongings. The scene foreshadows her pursuit of independence and illustrates her internal struggles for self-worth and belonging as she confronts both familial hostility and her own aspirations.
