Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Dawn of the Morning" by Grace Livingston Hill is a novel written in the early 20th century. This poignant story revolves around the life of a young girl named Dawn Van Rensselaer, who grapples with the turmoil of her family dynamics and the lost love of her mother. Amid a backdrop of stern authority, the novel explores themes of familial betrayal, the search for identity, and the longing for belonging as Dawn faces an uncertain future tinged with unease about her father's remarriage and the impending arranged marriage awaiting her. The opening of the novel establishes a somber tone, highlighting Dawn's troubling relationship with her father and her yearning for her long-lost mother. The narrative begins by depicting Dawn's life within the confines of her father's colonial home, where she feels stifled and estranged from both her father and her cruel stepmother. Her memories are haunted by the divorce that separated her from her mother, and the little girl wrestles with her rejection of her stepmother, determining that she will never accept her new role in this fractured family. As Dawn matures, she faces the reality of an impending marriage that strikes terror into her heart, underscoring her desire to escape a life devoid of love and happiness. This narrative fosters a growing sense of tension, foreshadowing significant changes that will challenge Dawn's perceptions of love, duty, and family.
