The Reclaimers Produced by Darleen Dove, Roger Frank, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Reclaimers" by Margaret Hill McCarter is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jerry Swaim, a young woman raised in luxury, who grapples with her inheritance and her desire for independence in a family dominated by wealth and expectations. The novel explores themes of self-discovery, the conflict between familial obligation and personal ambition, and the struggle of a young woman to carve out her own identity amidst the pressures of her social class. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the opulent estate known as "Eden," owned by Jerry's Aunt Jerusha and Uncle Cornelius Darby. The opening chapters establish a contrast between Jerry's sheltered upbringing and her yearning for adventure and independence, ignited by the recent loss of her uncle. As she learns about her inheritance—a claim to a large property in Kansas—Jerry's resolve to manage it herself signals her desire to escape the confines of her aunt's controlling grip and embrace a life of purpose and agency. This initial setup sets the stage for Jerry's journey toward self-sufficiency and highlights the complexities of her relationships with her family and her growing affection for her cousin, Eugene Wellington. The tension between ambition and duty becomes a central theme as her life unfolds against the backdrop of societal expectations and personal longing.
