"Rebecca Mary" by Annie Hamilton Donnell is a heartwarming story about a determined young girl, Rebecca Mary Plummer, growing up in a strict household as she learns about life's challenges and joys. The book dives into themes of being your unique self, the rocky roads families sometimes travel, and seeing the world through a child's fresh eyes. Right from the start, we see Rebecca Mary stressed over a sewing project and butting heads with her stern Aunt Olivia, who raises her. Even though she's careful and feels the pressure, Rebecca Mary stands up for herself, deciding to quit sewing, causing even more drama with her aunt. This moment shows her fight for freedom under tough conditions, hinting at how she'll deal with Aunt Olivia and the world. Adding to the story's gentle touch is the sweet bond between Rebecca and her pet rooster, Thomas Jefferson.
