Amanda is a novel written by Anna Balmer Myers. It tells the story of a young woman named Amanda who grows up in a small town in Pennsylvania during the late 1800s. Amanda is a strong-willed and independent woman who is determined to make her own way in the world, despite the expectations of society.As a young girl, Amanda dreams of becoming a writer, but her father disapproves of her aspirations and insists that she marry a wealthy man. Amanda rebels against her father's wishes and sets out to pursue her own dreams, even if it means facing rejection and hardship along the way.Throughout the novel, Amanda faces many challenges and obstacles, including poverty, illness, and heartbreak. But she never gives up on her dreams or her desire for independence. Along the way, she meets a cast of colorful characters, including a handsome young man named Philip, who becomes her closest friend and confidant.As Amanda navigates the ups and downs of her life, she learns important lessons about love, loss, and the power of perseverance. She also discovers that sometimes the greatest rewards come from following your heart and staying true to yourself, no matter what others may say or do.Overall, Amanda is a poignant and inspiring novel that celebrates the strength and resilience of women in the face of adversity. It is a timeless story that will resonate with readers of all ages and backgrounds.She's great! Isn't she great at a piano! She's been good enough to invite me in there. Sometimes she plays for me. The first time she played ragtime but I told her I hate that stuff. She said she's versatile, can please any taste. So now she entertains me with those lovely, dreamy things that almost talk to you. She's taught me to play cards, too. I haven't said anything about it at home, they wouldn't understand. Mother and Father still consider cards wicked. I dare say it wouldn't be just the thing for Mennonites to play cards, but I fail to see any harm in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
