"Miss Dexie" by Stanford Eveleth is a romance novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds during a time of turmoil caused by the American Civil War, centering around the lives of the Sherwood family as they navigate the challenges of this divided society. The protagonist, Dexie Sherwood, is a spirited young woman whose resourcefulness and relationships will play a central role in the narrative against the backdrop of wartime struggles. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the Sherwood family as they prepare to leave their home in New England due to the impact of the ongoing war. The arrival of Mr. Sherwood, his wife, and their twin daughters Dexie and Gussie at their new home in Halifax sets the stage for the unfolding story. The opening chapters detail their experiences and interactions with new acquaintances, particularly the Gurney family next door, while also illuminating the differing opinions on the war within their own household. Dexie emerges as a dynamic character with artistic talents, navigating family dynamics, societal expectations, and budding romantic interests amidst the backdrop of a war-torn world.
