Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Keineth" by Jane D. Abbott is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It follows the story of a young girl named Keineth Randolph, whose life is turned upside down when her beloved caretaker, Tante, decides to return to Europe amidst the turmoil of war. As Keineth navigates her feelings of loss and uncertainty, she is faced with new life choices, including the option of living with her strict Aunt Josephine or embarking on an adventure with the Lee family, who offer her a warm welcome. The opening portion of the story introduces us to Keineth’s world, marked by her close relationship with her father and Tante, and the comfortable yet changing environment of their home in New York. As Tante prepares to leave, Keineth grapples with the potential upheaval that this departure represents, fearing that she may be sent to live with the disapproving Aunt Josephine. The narrative captures Keineth's sense of innocence and longing for stability as she contemplates her future and clings to the joys of her past, even as the anticipation of changing circumstances looms. The tone conveys both the innocence of childhood and the complexities of familial love during a time of uncertainty.
