The Chautauqua Girls At Home

"The Chautauqua Girls at Home" by Pansy is a tale of four young women, Ruth, Flossy, Marion, and Eurie, who return from a summer retreat filled with new ideas about faith and life, only to find challenges fitting back into their old routines and expectations. Starting with a church service that highlights each girl's unique reaction to their revitalized faith, the story follows the friends as they grapple with feelings of isolation and the need to reconcile their evolved selves with their old communities. Facing pressure to conform, the friends must lean on each other as they embark on a journey of establishing their identities and pursuing lives of meaning and authenticity.
