Summary: "Audrey" by Mary Johnston is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book is set in a time marked by exploration and the settlement of America, following the lives of early colonists as they navigate the wilderness and their relationships. The central character appears to be a young girl named Audrey, who finds herself amidst a world of adventure, danger, and the complexities of human interaction, particularly highlighted by the dramatic circumstances surrounding her family. The beginning of "Audrey" introduces readers to an idyllic valley scene in the wilderness where a pioneer family lives in a cabin, described with rich, evocative imagery. The narrative shifts quickly as the tranquility is interrupted by the arrival of a well-armed group of gentlemen, led by the Governor, eager for adventure. The initial harmony of nature is contrasted with the foreboding presence of potential danger, foreshadowing tumultuous events ahead. Soon, an attack from Native Americans leads to tragedy for the family, which brings young Audrey to the forefront as she survives and faces a new perilous reality, setting the stage for her journey and the challenges she must confront in this unforgiving world.
