Plot Summary of Elsie Dinsmore
"Elsie Dinsmore is the story of a young Southern heiress in the pre-Civil War South. Elsie is ill-prepared to fit in it at her uncle's mansion, Roselands. Facing cruelty from cousins, teacher, and father, Elsie charms visitors, including Miss Allison and Mr. Travilla, with her sweetness. But the love Elsie longs for from her father will not be given unreservedly. With the support of her beloved Aunt Chloe, Elsie must choose between having the father she treasures and serving the God she depends on."
M. Wildes, Resident Scholar
