McVeigh Miller is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of a young girl named Laurel Vane, who faces the tragic loss of her father, a once-gifted writer now consumed by alcoholism. Left without financial support, Laurel must navigate the harsh realities of life alone, leading her to confront both despair and unexpected opportunities as she seeks a way to survive amidst her struggles. At the start of the book, the narrative introduces Laurel Vane in a moment of profound grief and vulnerability following the death of her father. Disoriented and friendless, she struggles with the immediate need to secure money for his burial by delivering his last manuscript to a publisher. Laurel's innocence and determination become evident as she bravely faces the judgment of others while trying to claim her father's final work. The text foreshadows her future challenges, including encounters with unscrupulous individuals who threaten her plight, as well as the chance meetings with those who may offer her unexpected help. The tone is laden with both sorrow and resilience, setting the stage for Laurel's journey into an uncertain future. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 83.0 (6th grade).
