Her own way

"Her Own Way" by Eglanton Thorne tells the story of Juliet Tracy, a determined young woman in the late 1800s, who finds herself at odds with the expectations of her family and society. Unlike her more traditional sisters, Hannah and Salome, Juliet longs for independence and bristles against their attempts to make her conform with ideas about appropriate behavior. Her friendship with the unconventional Flossie Chalcombe becomes a source of friction, and her mother, straddles the line between supporting Juliet’s spirited nature and worrying about social pressures. When Juliet returns from Flossie's house late one night, a conflict arises. It all sets the stage for Juliet's struggles as she navigates her choices, resists her sisters' plans for her future, and, against her wishes, contemplates becoming a governess.
