Summary: "West Lawn and The Rector of St. Mark's" by Mary Jane Holmes is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of Dora Freeman, a twenty-five-year-old spinster, whose diary entries reveal her thoughts, struggles, and affections toward those around her, particularly the attractive doctor, Richard West. Themes of love, jealousy, and societal expectations are likely to be explored as Dora navigates her role within a family that relies heavily on her support and amid the complex emotions surrounding her relationships. At the start of the novel, Dora reflects on her decision to leave Beechwood, where she has cared for her sibling's children, and her journey to Morrisville brings both excitement and inner conflict. Her diary entries reveal her affection for the children and a longing for a more fulfilling personal life. She is also preoccupied with thoughts about the enigmatic Dr. West and a mysterious woman named Anna, suggesting a deeper narrative of past relationships that may influence her future. Dora's interactions with her family, friends, and townspeople set the stage for a dramatic exploration of her character and the choices she must confront.
