Brought Home is a heartwarming novel by Hesba Stretton that tells the story of a young orphan girl named Maggie Browne. Maggie is taken in by a kind and loving family, the Heathcotes, who live in a quiet English village. The Heathcotes, who have no children of their own, treat Maggie as if she were their own daughter and provide her with a warm and loving home.As Maggie grows up, she becomes more and more grateful for the love and care that she has received from the Heathcotes. However, she also begins to feel a sense of longing to learn more about her past and where she came from. As she sets out to discover the truth about her family, Maggie learns some surprising and difficult truths about her past.Throughout the novel, Stretton weaves a touching tale of love, family, and the search for identity. Brought Home is a beautifully written story that will capture the hearts of readers of all ages. It is a timeless classic that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who reads it.Mrs, Bolton could not escape her share of these troubles; though she never accused herself for a moment as having had any part in causing them. It was the archdeacon who had obtained the living of Upton for her favorite nephew; and she had settled there to be the patroness of every good thing in the parish. Mr. Chantrey's popularity had been a source of great satisfaction and self-applause to her. She had foreseen how useful he would be; what a shining light in this somewhat dark corner of the church. The increasing congregations, and the number of carriages at the church-door, had given her much pleasure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
