Four Girls and a Compact is a coming-of-age novel written by Annie Hamilton Donnell. The story revolves around four young girls, Peggy, Jean, Katherine, and Louise, who are best friends and live in a small town in the early 1900s. The girls are inseparable and share everything, including a compact mirror that they pass around to each other. As they navigate their teenage years, the girls face various challenges and adventures, from falling in love to dealing with family drama. Peggy, the protagonist, is a spirited and independent girl who dreams of becoming a writer. She struggles with her father's disapproval of her ambitions and her growing feelings for a boy named Tom. Jean, the tomboy of the group, is a talented athlete who dreams of becoming a doctor. Katherine, the quiet and studious one, is focused on her studies and her family's expectations. Louise, the fashionista, dreams of marrying a wealthy man and living a glamorous life. Throughout the novel, the girls learn valuable life lessons about friendship, loyalty, and the importance of following their dreams. The compact mirror serves as a symbol of their bond and reminds them that no matter where life takes them, they will always have each other. Four Girls and a Compact is a heartwarming and timeless story that will resonate with readers of all ages. Donnell's vivid descriptions and relatable characters bring the small town of the early 1900s to life, making it a delightful read for anyone who loves historical fiction or coming-of-age stories.For a tiny space the three girls looked at each other in silence. The letter in Loraine's hand was a masterpiece, full of enticing mysteries that beckoned to them to come and find the answers.

They must pack up and go at once!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
