Summary |
"All for Love; or, Her Heart's Sacrifice" by Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller is a romantic novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Berry Vining, a beautiful and ambitious young girl from a humble background who dreams of a life beyond her modest cottage. Her journey unfolds as she grapples with her feelings for a handsome wealthy suitor while navigating the challenges posed by love, social class, and familial obligations. The beginning of the novel introduces readers to Berry, who is enchanted by a riding party that passes her window, particularly captivated by Charley Bonair, the son of a wealthy senator. As she daydreams about love and the fairytale life she longs for, she receives a bouquet of roses from Charley, sparking hope in her heart. However, her joy is short-lived as she learns of Charley's engagement to Rosalind Montague, a girl of his own social stature. In a whirlwind of emotions, Berry finds herself conflicted between hope and despair, ultimately leading her to a fateful encounter that will change her life forever. The opening sets the stage for a tale of love, ambition, and the stark contrasts of class that define society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
