| Summary |
"Smiles: A Rose of the Cumberlands" by Eliot H. Robinson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Donald MacDonald, an accomplished children's physician, who finds himself in the wilds of the Cumberlands during a vacation. Here, he encounters a young girl named Rose, affectionately called "Smiles," who possesses a sweet, infectious smile and a thoughtful nature, as she navigates her rural world filled with simple joys and profound innocence. The opening portion of the novel introduces Donald MacDonald, who feels a mix of humiliation and determination after getting lost in the woods. After some misadventures, he stumbles upon a cabin where he meets Rose, who is tending to her injured foot. Their first interaction is a blend of light-heartedness and the budding of a more profound connection. Rose, a picturesque representation of rural innocence, radiates warmth and kindness despite her challenging upbringing. The interaction sets the stage for a larger narrative that explores themes of love, duty, and the dichotomy between city life and the natural world, with the promise of deeper character development and adventure to come.
