520 _a"The Fairchilds; or, 'Do What You Can'" by Lucy Ellen Guernsey is a novel written in the late 19th century. This heartwarming tale revolves around Eben Fairchild, an adopted son facing the hardships of life after the death of his benefactor, Mr. Fairchild. As Eben grapples with the burden of responsibilities to his adoptive family, he must reconcile his dreams of higher education with the necessity of earning a living and supporting his mother and sister. The opening of the story introduces us to Eben Fairchild, who, after the death of Mr. Fairchild, feels compelled to abandon his dreams of attending college in order to support his adoptive mother, Mrs. Fairchild, and his sister Flora. The family faces financial difficulties stemming from Mr. Fairchild's debts, leaving Eben determined to find any honest work he can, demonstrating a mature sense of duty at a young age. The narrative highlights the family's emotional struggles and commitments, setting up a backdrop of resilience, love, and the trials of transitioning from youth to adulthood. As Eben begins to explore job opportunities, he reflects on his life's aspirations as well as the sacrifices he must make for the well-being of those he loves.
