"Miriam's Schooling and Other Papers" by William Hale White is a series of tales and thoughtful writings from the late 1800s, focusing on independence, what society expects, and tough moral choices. It follows Miriam as she grows up in a little English town, showing how people connect and how hard it can be to figure out who you are when everyone else wants you to be a certain way. We meet Giacomo Tacchi, a watchmaker, and his daughter, Miriam, in Cowfold, and see how much Giacomo loves Miriam, who is both kind and a bit of a rebel. As Miriam gets older, she starts to question things, especially when there's talk about Mr. Cutts possibly starting fires. This makes her think hard about what's right and wrong, showing how much she cares about others and hinting at her journey to find herself.
