| Summary | "Beulah" by Augusta J. Evans is a novel likely written during the mid-19th century. The story centers around Beulah Benton, a young orphan who lives in an asylum and grapples with her feelings of isolation, beauty, and familial bonds. As the narrative begins, Beulah's life is intertwined with her two younger companions, Claudia and Lillian, highlighting themes of childhood innocence and the impact of societal perceptions on self-worth. The opening of the book introduces readers to the setting of the orphan asylum, described in tranquil detail amidst the complexities of the children's interactions. Beulah is portrayed as a thoughtful and nurturing older sister who takes on responsibilities beyond her years, sewing and caring for her companions. The dynamic among the children is established through playful banter, even as a sense of foreboding looms regarding their futures. The chapter unfolds with Mrs. Grayson visiting the asylum, her intentions to adopt Lillian stirring distress in Beulah, who fears losing her sister. As the ominous realities of orphanhood surface, the narrative foreshadows the struggles Beulah will face as she navigates love, separation, and the search for identity in a society that values beauty and wealth.
