Summary: "The Primrose Ring" by Ruth Sawyer is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set primarily in a children's hospital called Saint Margaret's, focusing on the character Margaret MacLean, a nurse who is deeply committed to the well-being of the children in her care. The book explores themes of hope, kindness, and the transformative power of love and imagination as Margaret seeks to bring joy and a sense of normalcy to the lives of the ill and disabled children residing in the hospital. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to the festive atmosphere of May Eve, contrasted with the more somber realities of Trustee Day at the hospital. Margaret is characterized as a lively and optimistic person, filled with a belief in the magic of life, which she tries to impart to the children around her. As she interacts with the flower seller and prepares to face the trustees, it becomes clear that her mission extends beyond simple medical care—she aims to nurture the spirits of the children. The opening chapters dive into Margaret's reflections on her own difficult past and the need for compassion and understanding in a system often undercut by cold efficiency. Through her whimsical approach, she hopes to create a brighter world for the children at Saint Margaret's, setting the stage for a heartfelt exploration of humanity and the bonds that form in the face of adversity.
