| Summary |
"Azalea's Silver Web" by Elia Wilkinson Peattie is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Azalea McBirney, a young woman with aspirations of independence and creativity. As she navigates the complexities of her life on Tennyson Mountain, including the challenges faced by her adoptive family and the secrets of her own heritage, Azalea's journey unfolds against the backdrop of personal growth and familial connections. The opening portion of the novel introduces Azalea as she writes a heartfelt letter to her friend Carin, reflecting on the changes in her life and the struggles she faces at home. Her foster family, the McBirneys, is experiencing hardship due to the deteriorating health of Father McBirney, which places additional burdens on her as the family looks to her for support. With youthful energy and determination, Azalea expresses her desire to improve their situation, engaging in various crafts while contemplating her future and her identity. In this setting, themes of self-discovery, friendship, and the pursuit of one's dreams begin to emerge as Azalea embarks on her quest to weave a metaphorical silver web of her own making.
