Summary "Azalea: The Story of a Little Girl in the Blue Ridge Mountains" by Elia W. Peattie is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Azalea, who, after experiencing a series of heart-wrenching events—including the death of her mother—finds herself taken in by the loving McBirney family. This poignant tale explores themes of family, love, and the transition from hardship to finding a place to call home. The opening of the book introduces the McBirney family and their simple mountain life through the eyes of Jim, their son. As the family goes about their daily routines, they encounter a traveling circus troupe whose circumstances lead to an unexpected tragedy. When Azalea, a girl from the troupe, is left orphaned, Mary McBirney takes her in with a motherly instinct to protect and nurture her. Their deepening connection and the challenges they face set the stage for Azalea to find belonging and love in her new home, contrasting her previous life of uncertainty on the road.
