Far from the prying eyes of society, Aimee Henry finds life at boarding school challenging and questions arise her Boston Brahmin guardian, Mary Martha Parker.
Awesome, @ Lynn! I hope you enjoy Aimee’s story! You should be able to read the entire story by using the “next” button at the bottom each week’s story.
This is my first time reading a serialised family history project on Substack, and I’ll be following along with interest. It is an ambitious piece of work and a striking story to begin with. I’m also writing a text of my own and have completed two chapters so far. Our approaches are quite different, but one thing I noticed we share is a focus on unfolding the lives of individuals with an awareness of the social context in which they lived. I look forward to reading more.
Lori Olson White's serialised book, "Call me a bastard" is on my radar!
I am just going to start reading each chapter (plus the bonus content) as a regular task whenever I am in Substack. Lori, you provided just the right sort of 'hooks' to get me interested: the title and the serialisation format. I am inspired and think that I might serialise my latest fantasy fiction manuscript here in Substack! Thank you for your creativity, Lori.
I enjoyed this well written story of Aimee and her life in the various schools for young ladies. It was evocative of the early Victorian era and its standards. What a wealth of research you have done Lori! And what a story. I hope to read more!
Late to the reading but I’m also hooked and looking forward to the next chapter.

Very engaging. You've told me just enough to lead me to want to find out more.

Thanks, @Peter, and I hope
You enjoy it! I’ll look forward to your comments.
