| Summary | "Sarah's First Start in Life" by Adelaide M. G. Campbell is a novel likely written in the late 19th century, which follows the journey of a young woman, Sarah Brown, as she embarks on her first experience in service as a kitchen maid. The narrative explores themes of family, duty, and the challenges of social mobility faced by women during this time. The story begins on Christmas Day, where Sarah expresses her desire to help support her struggling working-class family by taking a position as a kitchen maid. After some convincing, her father agrees to let her pursue this opportunity. As Sarah navigates her new role in the household of Lady James, she encounters various trials, including challenges related to her work environment, relationships with other servants, and her own personal growth. Tragedy strikes when her mother passes away, leading to Sarah's return home. Over time, as she manages her feelings about her family's changes, Sarah also grapples with her feelings for Dick Bream, her fiancé. Ultimately, the story concludes with Sarah and Dick marrying and looking forward to their new life together, signifying her growth from a sheltered girl into a responsible and empowered woman.
