Publisher's Synopsis

R. J.'s Mother and Some Other People is a novel written by Margaret Deland. The book tells the story of R. J., a young boy who grows up in a small American town. The novel is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different character in R. J.'s life. The first chapter introduces R. J.'s mother, a strong-willed woman who is determined to give her son the best opportunities in life. She is a strict disciplinarian who believes in hard work and education. The second chapter introduces R. J.'s father, a kind and gentle man who is often overshadowed by his wife's forceful personality. As the novel progresses, we meet other characters in R. J.'s life, including his teachers, friends, and neighbors. Each chapter explores the relationships between these characters and the impact they have on R. J.'s development. Throughout the book, Deland explores themes of family, community, and the importance of education. She also touches on issues of race and class, as R. J. grows up in a town where these factors play a significant role in daily life. Overall, R. J.'s Mother and Some Other People is a poignant and insightful novel that offers a window into small-town life in early 20th century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
