"An Old Chester Secret" by Margaret Wade Campbell Deland is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a small town called Old Chester and revolves around the life of Miss Lydia Sampson, an open-hearted and somewhat eccentric woman known for her inability to keep secrets. The narrative explores themes of love, societal expectations, and the impact of unspoken truths as it delves into the unexpected appearance of a secret in her life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Miss Lydia Sampson, a woman who is characterized by her lack of reticence in both her own affairs and those of others. However, her life takes a turn when she unexpectedly departs for Mercer, leaving behind a mystery that intrigues her neighbors. The opening portion suggests that Miss Lydia's life is about to become entwined with deeper secrets and the struggles of a young woman named Mary Smith, who confides in her about an unplanned pregnancy and seeks her assistance. Their conversation hints at the profound challenges they will face as they navigate societal pressures and personal dilemmas, setting the stage for the unfolding drama in Old Chester.
