Mathews is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a world where camaraderie among children is juxtaposed with the burdens they bear from their communities and families. Central to the narrative are young girls like Bessie Bradford and her companions, who navigate their relationships and personal challenges against a backdrop of social dynamics that reflect the values and pressures of their time.  The opening of the book introduces various characters including Mrs. Fleming, Mrs. Granby, and the Richards family, setting a scene filled with familial interactions and community ties. A notable event discussed is the heroism of a girl named Lena, who has recently recovered from severe burns sustained while saving her siblings. Within this setting, tensions arise as personal grievances and expectations thread through the children's lives, particularly regarding Gracie Howard and her complicated relationship with Lena. As the narrative progresses, the dilemmas of friendship, jealousy, and personal growth emerge, hinting at deeper themes to be explored throughout the book.
