Summary

"Lantern Marsh" by Beaumont Sandfield Cornell is a story about a young man named Mauney Bard, caught between what his family expects of him and his own dreams, as the dreary farm and nearby marsh seem to hold him back. Mauney struggles with a demanding father and a brother who doesn't seem to care about anything, all while he wonders if there's more to life than mending fences. The arrival of a new preacher stirs up conversations about faith and makes Mauney question his place in the community, hinting at a journey where he'll have to decide what he truly wants and who he wants to be.
