Durham Village: A Temperance Tale is a historical fiction book written by Lynn Corra. The story is set in the early 1900s in a small village in Durham, New Hampshire. The main character, Emily, is a young girl who is deeply affected by the negative impact of alcohol in her community. Emily's father is an alcoholic, and his addiction causes financial and emotional strain on their family. Emily's mother is a strong advocate for temperance, and she works tirelessly to promote the cause in their village.As Emily grows older, she becomes more involved in the temperance movement and begins to understand the devastating effects of alcohol on individuals and families. She becomes a leader in the movement, organizing rallies and speaking out against the sale and consumption of alcohol.Durham Village: A Temperance Tale is a compelling story of one family's struggle with addiction and the larger societal issues surrounding alcohol consumption in the early 1900s. The book explores themes of family, community, and social justice, and it provides a thought-provoking glimpse into a fascinating period of American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
