Summary

"The Flower of the Flock, Volume 3 (of 3)" by Pierce Egan is a story set in the 1800s that tells of Helen Grahame, a young woman battling her family and how society thinks she should act. The book looks at themes of pride, love, and giving up what you want for others by seeing Helen deal with her feelings about her family versus what she wants for herself in a world that expects certain things from her. The book starts with Helen in trouble with her father, who is angry about something wild she did that made her leave home. He wants to know why she did it, but she stays silent and deals with her feelings, while also finding out her father is about to lose all his money. As her father gets angrier, Helen decides to run away again with her sister Eva, hoping to find freedom from everything holding her down. This sets up Helen's big journey to make her own choices, even when society is pushing her in other directions.
