Through her writing, Deland promoted and engaged in the literary realism movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. This movement encouraged authors to write about contemporary life and society as they knew it in the spirit of creating realism in novels and other forms of writing as opposed to the more romanticized or sensationalized works that society had become accustomed to reading. Truly a master of the style, Deland's narrative is compelling and realistic enough to convince even the most skeptical reader. In this novel, Deland explores what it was like to grow up in late nineteenth century America in the confines of what, on the surface, appears to be a normal family. But no life is without conflict, and true to her exploration of realism, Deland tackles the conflict within her setting head on without apology. Only by overcoming their major conflicts can the family prove that it's the ties that bind are always the strongest. Even the oddest family members have their moments at center stage in an effort to come to the aid of the rest of the family in this most difficult of changes. Deland's ability to establish engaging and exciting characters remains unmatched to this day, and as a result this book stands out as a very significant piece of American literature. The Story of a Child is an American novel written during the literary realism movement and echoes the beliefs of that movement. Deland creates an interesting glimpse into the late 1800s family and the challenges this family, especially the growing children, must face. This book is an engaging and entertaining read for anyone interested in realistic novels, history, and classic literature.
