Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Henrietta's Wish is a novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge. The story revolves around Henrietta, a young girl who dreams of becoming a nurse. However, her father is opposed to her idea and wants her to marry a wealthy man instead. Henrietta is torn between her desire to follow her dreams and her duty to obey her father. Along the way, she meets several characters who help her in her journey, including a kind-hearted doctor and a wealthy philanthropist. The novel explores themes such as duty, love, and the pursuit of one's dreams. It is a heartwarming and inspiring tale that will resonate with readers of all ages.In spite of all the longing wishes expressed during the drive, no ancestral home, beloved by inheritance, could have been entered with more affectionate rapture than that with which Frederick Langford sprung from the carriage, and flew to the arms of his mother, receiving and returning such a caress as could only be known by a boy conscious that he had done nothing to forfeit home love and confidence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
