Azalea: The Story of a Girl in the Blue Ridge Mountains is a novel written by Elia Wilkinson Peattie and first published in 1912. The story is set in the early 1900s in a small mountain community in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The main character, Azalea, is a young girl who lives with her widowed mother and four younger siblings in a small cabin in the mountains. Azalea is a bright and curious girl who longs to learn more about the world beyond her small community. Her mother, however, is more concerned with keeping her children fed and clothed than with their education. Despite these challenges, Azalea is determined to learn as much as she can and is constantly seeking out new knowledge and experiences. The novel follows Azalea as she grows up and faces a series of challenges, including poverty, illness, and the death of loved ones. Along the way, she forms close friendships with other members of her community, including a young boy named Ben and an older woman named Aunt Susan. Through Azalea's story, Peattie explores themes of poverty, education, community, and the power of human connection. The novel is a poignant and moving portrayal of life in a rural mountain community at the turn of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
