An American Family: A Novel of Today by Henry Kitchell Webster is a gripping tale of the lives of the middle-class American family. The book is set in the early 20th century and follows the story of the Marsh family, who live in the fictional town of North Dormer. The Marsh family is made up of the father, mother, and their two children, a son and a daughter. The novel explores the family dynamic and the challenges they face in their daily lives. The father, John Marsh, is a hard-working man who struggles to provide for his family. His wife, Mary, is a devoted mother who tries to maintain a happy home despite the financial struggles they face. Their son, Ted, is a college student who is trying to find his place in the world, while their daughter, Ruth, is a high school student who dreams of a better life. As the story unfolds, the Marsh family faces a series of challenges that threaten to tear them apart. John loses his job, and the family is forced to make sacrifices to make ends meet. Ted becomes involved with a group of radicals, which puts him at odds with his family's values. Ruth falls in love with a wealthy young man, which creates tension between her and her parents. Throughout the book, the author explores themes of family, class, and the American Dream. He paints a vivid picture of life in small-town America and the struggles that families face to achieve success and happiness. An American Family is a timeless novel that still resonates with readers today, offering a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Americans and the challenges they face in pursuit of the American Dream.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
