Description

""Dr. Le Baron and His Daughters: A Story of the Old Colony"" is a novel written by Jane Goodwin Austin and published in 1891. The story is set in the 17th century and follows the lives of a wealthy family, the Le Barons, who are part of the Old Colony in Massachusetts. The patriarch of the family, Dr. Le Baron, is a respected physician who is deeply committed to his family and community. The novel explores the relationships between Dr. Le Baron and his three daughters, each of whom has a distinct personality and set of challenges to overcome. The eldest daughter, Faith, is determined to marry for love rather than for social status, while the middle daughter, Hope, struggles with her own sense of identity and purpose. The youngest daughter, Charity, is a free-spirited and independent young woman who refuses to conform to the expectations of her society. Along the way, the Le Baron family must navigate the challenges of life in the New World, including conflicts with Native Americans, political upheaval, and the changing social norms of their time. Through it all, Dr. Le Baron and his daughters remain steadfast in their commitment to each other and to their community, demonstrating the enduring power of family and love.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
