"A Country Doctor and Selected Stories and Sketches" by Sarah Orne Jewett is a collection of narratives written in the late 19th century. The central story, "The Last Mile," introduces readers to a compassionate and determined young woman on a desperate journey to seek help for her ailing child, which sets the tone for the stories that explore themes of life, death, and the struggles of rural existence in New England. The opening portion of the book depicts the young woman traversing a path through the countryside, burdened by the weight of her child and the urgency of her mission. Despite the picturesque autumn landscape, she is engulfed by weariness and despair, ultimately arriving at a graveyard where her emotions overwhelm her. As she attempts to flee back to safety, a series of vignettes briefly introduce the lives of her neighbors, including Mrs. Thacher, who is struggling with the recent changes in her life, and hints at the complicated familial ties and social dynamics within their community. The encounter reveals the network of relationships and the depth of concern that permeate their interactions, setting the stage for the interconnected stories to unfold.
