Summary

"Rose O'Paradise" by Grace Miller White is a tale from the early 1900s, which tells the story of Jinnie, a girl living on a lonely farm with her father, Thomas Singleton, facing hardship and mistreatment. The story begins by showing Jinnie's difficult relationship with her father after he comes home sick, filled with regret and worry about her safety because of her nasty Uncle Jordan. After her father dies, Jinnie embarks on a big journey toward safety and a fresh start, carrying only her fiddle and a pail of cats as she leaves her old life behind. This sets up a story filled with loss, staying strong, and the courage it takes to begin again.

About the Author

Grace Miller White (1868–1957) was an American writer. She began her writing career novelizing plays, before turning her hand to novels in 1909. Several of her books were adapted for the big screen, most notably Tess of the Storm Country, which was filmed on four occasions between 1914 and 1960. She adopted the name Grace around 1897, in memory of a younger sister who had died before reaching her first birthday.
