The Dawn of a To-morrow

"The Dawn of a To-morrow" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a story set in 19th-century London. It starts with Antony Dart, a man lost in sadness and thinking about ending his life in the heavy London fog. The book is about tough topics, like feeling lost and the dark parts of society, but it also shows how people can save each other through friendship. When Dart is about to give up, he meets Glad, a young, strong girl who is surviving in very bad conditions. Even though her life is hard, she is still hopeful and happy, which surprises Dart. Their meeting is a turning point, suggesting that even when things seem hopeless, connecting with others can bring back hope.
