In a time when societal expectations weighed heavily on the vulnerable, "Salome's Burden, or the Shadow on the Homes" by Eleanora H. Stooke delves into the life of a fourteen-year-old girl, Salome Petherick, who navigates her world with physical limitations in a small Cornish village.

With vivid characterizations and a rich emotional landscape, this work invites students and civic activists alike to reflect on the complexities of acceptance and the human spirit. Discover how Salome's journey challenges perceptions and inspires empathy in a world often quick to overlook the burdens of others.
