"Heart of Gold" by Ruth Alberta Brown is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the adventures of a spirited young girl named Peace Greenfield, who experiences life and its challenges through her imaginative outlook and youthful curiosity. The story addresses her interactions with friends and family, showcasing themes of childhood innocence, resilience, and the power of kindness. The opening of the novel introduces Peace as a lively and playful child who struggles to focus in class, often drifting into daydreams while her teacher attempts to read mythology to the students. The narrative paints a vivid picture of her charming yet chaotic nature, as she grapples with school lessons and is reminded of important figures in her life, including the memory of her beloved Lilac Lady. The chapter establishes Peace's vivid imagination and her longing for adventure, setting the stage for her journey ahead—including a significant accident that will dramatically alter her life. The reader is drawn into her world as she processes her emotions and the events unfolding around her, hinting at the deeper themes that will be explored throughout the story.
