The Bent Twig is a novel written by Dorothea Frances Canfield Fisher, first published in 1915. The book tells the story of a young girl named Evangeline, who grows up in a small town in Vermont at the turn of the 20th century. Evangeline is a bright and curious child, but her family is poor and she faces many challenges as she tries to pursue her dreams.Despite the difficulties she faces, Evangeline is determined to get an education and make something of herself. She is supported in her efforts by her mother, who is a strong and independent woman, and by a group of teachers and mentors who recognize her potential.As Evangeline grows up, she faces many obstacles and setbacks, but she never gives up on her dreams. She falls in love with a young man named Jack, but their relationship is complicated by social and economic differences. Evangeline also struggles to reconcile her desire for independence with the expectations of her family and community.The Bent Twig is a powerful and inspiring novel that explores themes of education, social class, and gender roles. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of young women in the face of adversity, and a reminder of the importance of pursuing one's dreams and aspirations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
