Summary "A Woman Named Smith" by Marie Conway Oemler is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the life of Sophronisba "Sophy" Smith, who unexpectedly inherits Hynds House in South Carolina from her Great-Aunt Sophronisba Scarlett, an aging woman with a fierce reputation. The narrative touches on themes of family legacy, societal expectations, and personal identity, as Sophy, alongside her friend Alicia Gaines, navigates the complexities of her new home and their place within the conservative community of Hyndsville. The opening of the book sets the stage for Sophy's journey as she grapples with her unexpected inheritance. It introduces the character of Sophy as a pragmatic woman with a history in business, highlighting her reluctance to embrace her new role in a quaint yet hostile town. The narrative paints a vivid picture of Hynds House, its grandeur now dimmed by neglect, and the lingering shadows of her aunt’s harsh legacy. As she and Alicia prepare to move into the house, they sense not only the challenges ahead but also the potential for transformation, hinting at the magical elements intertwined with their new life, encapsulating a blend of realism and mystique in their adventure.
