Summary "Betty Leicester: A Story for Girls" by Sarah Orne Jewett is a novel written in the late 19th century. It follows the journey of a fifteen-year-old girl named Betty Leicester, who embarks on a summer adventure to Tideshead, where she will stay with her grandaunts while her father travels to Alaska. The story explores themes of growth, friendship, and the contrast between old and new as Betty navigates her relationships and begins to understand her place in the world. The opening of the book introduces Betty and her father during breakfast at a hotel in Boston, highlighting their close bond and setting the stage for Betty's upcoming journey. As they part ways, Betty expresses sadness about her father's trip, emphasizing her longing for connection. The narrative then follows Betty as she takes a train and a packet boat to Tideshead, where she expects to reconnect with her aunts and childhood friends, including Mary Beck. The vivid descriptions of her travels, her emotions of excitement and loneliness, and the encounters along the way establish the novel's focus on a young girl's coming-of-age experience amidst the backdrop of familiar yet evolving relationships.
