"A Humble Enterprise" by Ada Cambridge is a compelling story about the Liddon family, who face difficult times after Joseph Liddon's sudden death. The family must deal with not having enough money, and Jenny Liddon, the oldest daughter, decides to open a tea room so they can make money and stay independent. The book starts with the shocking accident and death of Joseph, showing how sad and worried his family is. Then, they start trying to figure out how to take care of themselves without him. Jenny is brave and comes up with the idea of a tea room, a peaceful place for women that she thinks will make money and help them feel better. The beginning shows how carefully she plans, how strong she is, and how she relates to her family, especially her brother and mother, who worry but still support her big idea. This sets the stage for exploring ideas about family sticking together, being responsible, and trying to be independent even when society has different expectations.
