"Fran" by J. Breckenridge Ellis is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story introduces us to Fran, a young girl who arrives at a house at night with the intent to find Hamilton Gregory, a choir leader with whom she believes she has a significant connection related to her past. This opening chapter establishes Fran's bold nature as she confronts the secretary of Mr. Gregory, revealing a determined character who seeks belonging and a sense of home. At the start of the novel, Fran knocks on the door of Mr. Gregory's house, seeking him out after an unexpected laugh during a religious meeting. The young secretary is initially wary of her, but Fran's persistence leads her to inquire about Gregory’s whereabouts. Ultimately directed to the camp meeting, Fran's keen observations hint at her complicated background and her search for familial ties. The narrative suggests a blend of themes, including identity, homelessness, and the quest for connection, as Fran navigates her circumstances with both innocence and maturity, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of her journey.
