Project Gutenberg 2004-04-01 Public domain in the USA. 138 Roe, Edward Payson 1838 1888 Roe, E. P. (Edward Payson) Without a Home Produced by Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Without a Home" by Edward Payson Roe is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story explores the lives of the Jocelyn family, particularly focusing on Mildred Jocelyn and her struggles amidst financial hardship and social challenges. As their comfortable lives unravel, the impact of societal expectations and personal relationships come into sharp relief, particularly through Mildred’s interactions with her love interest, Vinton Arnold, a young man navigating his own familial pressures. The opening of "Without a Home" sets a tone of nostalgia and foreshadows impending turmoil for the Jocelyn family. It introduces readers to the joy and vitality of a gathering hosted by Belle Jocelyn, Mildred's lively sister, yet it contrasts sharply with their father's deepening financial woes and the quiet anxiety that permeates the household. After a joyful party, the young characters' pleasant interactions hint at budding romances, but a dark cloud looms as Mr. Jocelyn is faced with his firm's potential collapse. As the narrative shifts between the family dynamics and the pressures exerted by society, Mildred begins to recognize the challenges ahead, particularly concerning her relationships with Vinton Arnold, who may be trapped by the expectations of his wealthy family, and the realities of their new, less privileged circumstances.
