| Summary | "The Wonder Woman" by Mae Van Norman Long is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on David Dale, a carpenter living by a picturesque river, whose life takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of a mysterious and captivating young woman, whom he refers to as his "wonder woman." Themes of companionship, longing, and the allure of nature intertwine as David navigates his feelings for both the enchanting newcomer and his loyal companion, Joey, a young boy he adopted after finding him in distress." The opening of the novel introduces us to the narrator, David, and his interactions with Joey, a young boy he has taken under his wing. Their evenings are spent by a fire, where David shares tales of a beautiful woman he envisions through the flames, representing hope and adventure. One day, an actual young woman unexpectedly arrives at David's workshop, charming him with her beauty despite her shabby appearance, and inquiring about purchasing land. The narrative unfolds, revealing David's memories with Joey, their bond, and how the arrival of the woman disrupts their lives. Simultaneously, a local girl named Wanza emerges, who is affectionate towards both David and Joey. Wanza's character adds complexity as David anticipates the potential relationship between her and the wonder woman, setting the stage for further developments amidst themes of love and companionship in a rural setting.
