Daisy by Susan Warner

Description

Daisy is a book by Susan Warner, first published in 1871. Written in Warner’s clear, earnest style, the book reflects the values and concerns of 19th-century American family life, with a strong emphasis on personal responsibility and quiet moral growth. The story follows Daisy Randolph, a sensitive and intelligent young girl growing up in a privileged but emotionally uncertain household. Though surrounded by comfort, Daisy lacks consistent guidance and must learn - often through painful experience - how to govern her temper, develop self-discipline, and understand the deeper meaning of Christian duty. Her inner struggles are set against the routines of home life, schooling, and social expectations, making the novel both intimate and relatable. As Daisy matures, she encounters mentors and companions who challenge her assumptions and help shape her moral outlook. Susan Warner carefully traces Daisy’s development through everyday trials rather than dramatic twists, showing how small choices accumulate into lasting character. The narrative balances gentle storytelling with clear moral purpose, a hallmark of Warner’s work. Beloved in its time and still appreciated today, Daisy is a classic example of 19th-century Christian fiction, Victorian domestic literature, and coming-of-age novels for young readers. Susan Warner, best known for The Wide, Wide World, was one of the most influential American authors of religious fiction, and Daisy remains a thoughtful introduction to her enduring literary legacy.
