Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Everybody's Lonesome: A True Fairy Story" by Clara E. Laughlin is a charming narrative that can be classified as a philosophical and inspirational coming-of-age tale, likely written in the early 20th century. The book provides a look into the life of Mary Alice, a young woman who grapples with feelings of isolation and longing for meaning in her existence, thus exploring the universal themes of loneliness and connection. Throughout the story, Mary Alice embarks on a transformative journey prompted by her godmother's enchanting guidance. Initially dissatisfied with her mundane and despairing life, she travels to New York City, where she is introduced to a vibrant world filled with creativity and intriguing people. As she discovers "the Secret"—the realization that everybody experiences loneliness—Mary Alice gradually evolves, learning to appreciate her unique qualities and forming valuable connections with others. Through her experiences—from intimate moments with her godmother to encounters with influential figures—she experiences personal growth, ultimately recognizing that the shared struggles of loneliness unite us all.
