"Rose O'Paradise" by Grace Miller White is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Virginia, affectionately known as Jinnie, who lives a challenging life on a remote farmstead with her father, Thomas Singleton. Following a series of struggles, including familial absence and abusive treatment, Jinnie finds herself facing a life-altering journey after the death of her father, at which point she decides to seek safety and a possible new life. The opening of the novel introduces us to Jinnie and her complicated relationship with her father, who has returned home in a fragile state.
