Caswell is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book centers on the life of Clara Roscom, a young girl facing the profound loss of her father, followed by the challenges of growing up as she navigates education and the responsibilities that come with her family's changing circumstances. The narrative explores themes of duty, perseverance, and the emotional landscapes that accompany grief and personal growth. The opening of the story introduces Clara in the immediate aftermath of her father's sudden death, capturing her shock and sorrow as she processes the loss. Her mother, struggling to maintain composure for Clara's sake, becomes Clara's sole anchor as they navigate their shared grief and adjust to their new lives. As time passes, Clara begins attending school, finding success in her studies, but is always grounded by the memory of her father and the responsibility she feels to care for her mother. The narrative poignantly details her journey through loss, education, and the development of her character, setting a tone of resilience and duty that likely carries through into the subsequent stories in the collection.
