"The Heart's Country" by Mary Heaton Vorse is a story about a girl named Ellen as she grows up in New England in the early 1900s. We see everything through Ellen's eyes as she deals with her family, especially her Aunt Sarah, and figures out what she wants in life. The book is about Ellen's dreams and how she tries to be herself even when people expect her to act a certain way, such as when Alec Yorke charms her and it becomes clear she wants to be independant. It is a story filled with her feelings and imagination as she learns about growing up, love, and who she wants to be.
