America's Daughter
409 pages · First published 1918
A young American woman comes of age during a period when national identity and personal independence are being fiercely renegotiated. Family loyalties, romantic expectations, and public events force her to decide what being an American daughter requires when obedience and conviction point in different directions. Rena I. Halsey uses domestic and social conflict to connect a heroine’s private choices with larger ideas about citizenship and womanhood. The novel offers a period portrait of a woman learning that loyalty to family and country can demand judgment rather than passive conformity.
