David Dunne by Belle Kanaris Maniates
"David Dunne" by Belle Kanaris Maniates is a romance written during the early 20th century. The story is set in the Midwestern United States and follows young David Dunne, who faces the challenges of growing up in a struggling household after the death of his mother. The novel touches on themes of family, responsibility, and the quest for a better life as David seeks to navigate his circumstances, build relationships, and forge
his path amidst hardship. The opening of "David Dunne" introduces readers to the titular character, a freckle-faced boy, as he embarks on a series of everyday adventures in his rural community. We see him visiting Miss M'ri Brumble, who serves him ice cream and provides a nurturing presence, highlighting the warmth and camaraderie of small-town life. He's depicted as responsible, helping his mother with chores while yearning for education and some semblance of a childhood amidst adult burdens.
