Summary "Briarwood Girls" by Julia Lestarjette Glover is a novel set in the early 20th century, capturing the experiences of adolescent girls at a fictional college. The plot centers around Alison Fair, whose world is turned upside down when her financial situation prevents her from returning to Briarwood College after her freshman year. The story tackles themes of friendship, ambition, and self-discovery, revolving around the lives of several young women as they navigate school friendships, personal struggles, and the twists of fate that accompany growing up. The narrative follows Alison as she grapples with her disappointment over not being able to continue her education, only to receive an unexpected inheritance from a deceased relative—a beautiful lamp that later becomes a symbol of hope and transformation. As the story progresses, we meet a diverse cast of characters, including her new roommate Marcia, whose struggle with authority and longing for independence complicates Alison's life in unexpected ways. The girls face various trials, such as social pressures, academic contests, and the mystery surrounding missing items, all culminating in the revelation of Marcia's departure from Briarwood. Through her journey, Alison reaffirms her dedication to her friendships and her dreams, especially as they rally to support one another before embarking on their unique futures.
