"MRS. DAY'S DAUGHTERS" by Mary E. Mann is a novel that likely reflects social issues during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the Day family, particularly focusing on the lives and challenges faced by the mother, Mrs. Day, and her daughters, as they navigate a changing societal landscape, personal relationships, and the impact of familial struggles, including financial ruin and social status. The opening of the novel presents the aftermath of a New Year's party hosted by Mrs. Day, setting the stage for the family's dynamics. Following the revelry, Mrs. Day grapples with her husband's sudden departure and the impending financial troubles he has brought upon them. As the family copes with the fallout of Mr. Day's actions, which lead to his imprisonment for financial misconduct, we see how the children's lives are turned upside down. Deleah, the youngest daughter, exemplifies innocence mixed with determination as she strives to rescue her father, while Bessie, the older sister, battles her own despair and the uncertainty of their future amidst societal pressures. This complex scenario paints a vivid picture of the family's daily lives and the societal expectations they must contend with. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
