Four Mothers at Chautauqua
by Pansy (Isabella Macdonald Alden)
'Four Mothers at Chautauqua' Summary
Twenty-five years have passed since the four original 'Chautauqua Girls' first journeyed to the summer institute that transformed their lives. Now, as mothers themselves, they return to Chautauqua, this time accompanied by their children. The novel chronicles their experiences as they seek to share the transformative values of faith, community, and personal growth they once discovered with their own offspring. Through their individual journeys, the women grapple with challenges, rediscover old friendships, and find renewed purpose in their faith. Meanwhile, their children face their own coming-of-age experiences within the supportive environment of Chautauqua. As the story unfolds, the reader witnesses the enduring power of faith, the importance of strong bonds, and the lasting impact of formative experiences. The novel culminates with the four mothers finding not only renewed strength in their faith and friendships, but also a deeper understanding of their own motherhood, and the intricate dynamics of their family relationships.Book Details
