Furman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a woman who has recently experienced profound loss and decides to embark on a journey to a settlement school located in the Kentucky mountains to find purpose and perhaps a sense of community through social service. The narrative explores themes of grief, motherhood, and the challenges of nurturing a group of lively boys while navigating their rural culture and familial histories. The opening of the book introduces the main character as she arrives at the town of Joslin, Kentucky, reflecting on her deep sorrow after losing her mother. As she waits for a wagon to take her to the settlement school, she is told about a local feud, portraying the dangerous and tumultuous environment she is entering. Upon reaching the school, she meets the eager children, notably a boy named Philip, and begins to settle into her role, although her initial experiences are marred by physical discomfort and homesickness felt by the boys. The dynamic of her growing bond with the children, juxtaposed with her own emotional struggles, sets the stage for the unfolding story of community, conflict, and the healing power of connection.
