"The Camerons of Highboro" by Beth Bradford Gilchrist is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Elliott Cameron, a spirited young girl whose life is upended when she has to leave her comfortable, privileged existence to stay with her relatives on a farm during wartime. As Elliott grapples with her new circumstances and the unfamiliar lifestyle, she must come to terms with her own attitudes toward work and family. The opening of the book sets a dramatic tone, as it introduces Elliott's sense of displacement and bewilderment regarding her forced evacuation from her home, which echoes the experiences of refugees globally. We see her lively banter with her father, juxtaposed with her reluctance to embrace her new life with the Robert Camerons, a family she considers strange and less appealing than her own. As she arrives at the Cameron farm and begins to interact with her new cousins, the reader gets glimpses of her resistance to their way of life and her struggle to adjust while maintaining her personal identity. The initial chapters highlight her feelings of homesickness and her many interactions, setting the stage for her growth as she navigates her new reality amidst the contrasts of her previous upbringing and the farm life she now faces.
