Rebecca Stuart’s Struggle and the Strawbridge Orphan
Ten year old Rebecca Stuart, an orphan cared for by the wealthy Strawbridge Roods, forms a bond with Granny Rawley while facing deprivation and manipulation. Rebecca’s escape to New York reveals her true identity as Mary Stanly, a wealthy artist who later helps her former friend Lottie Barton, now Mrs. Barton, who had fallen on hard times. Their reunion exposes past sins and rewards virtue as they reconcile and plan to mend family ties.
