| Summary | "A Daughter of Jehu" by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Kitty Ross, a young woman returning to her hometown of Cyrus after the death of her mother, grappling with loss and the responsibilities of her new reality. The narrative is grounded in the themes of community, nostalgia, and the contrast between ambition and domesticity, set against the backdrop of a small, picturesque town. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the idyllic setting of Cyrus and its charming inhabitants, including Kitty's friends and family. Following her mother's death, Kitty contemplates her future and the changes in her life, while the warmth and kindness of the townspeople create a sense of belonging. The opening establishes a vibrant sense of place and community, capturing the innocence and traditions of a bygone era, as Kitty navigates her return home and begins to confront her role in the town that shaped her childhood.
