Unchaperoned (Paperback)

Unchaperoned: A Novel by Helen Reimensnyder Martin is a historical fiction novel set in the early 1900s. The story follows the life of 17-year-old Nessa Pemberton, who is sent away from her privileged life in Philadelphia to live with her aunt and uncle in a small town in Pennsylvania. Nessa is determined to break free from the constraints of society and experience life on her own terms. She quickly befriends the town's working-class residents and falls in love with a young man named Jimmy. However, their love is met with opposition from both their families and society, as they come from different social classes. As Nessa navigates the challenges of love and independence, she must also confront the harsh realities of the time period, including the suffrage movement and the outbreak of World War I. Unchaperoned is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of love, class, and gender roles in a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
