The House of Happiness is a novel written by Kate Langley Bosher and first published in 1912. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the life of a young woman named Betty Carew, who is determined to find happiness despite the challenges and obstacles she faces along the way. Betty is a strong-willed and independent woman who comes from a wealthy family. She has a passion for helping others and dreams of opening a home for orphaned children. However, her family disapproves of her plans and forces her to marry a wealthy but unkind man named Tom. Despite her unhappy marriage, Betty remains determined to follow her dreams and make a difference in the world. She eventually meets and falls in love with a kind and compassionate man named Jack, who shares her passion for helping others. Together, they work to build the House of Happiness, a home for orphaned and neglected children. The novel explores themes of love, family, social class, and the pursuit of happiness. It also highlights the challenges faced by women in the early 20th century, including the limitations placed on them by society and the struggle to balance their own desires with the expectations of their families and communities. Overall, The House of Happiness is a heartwarming and inspiring story that celebrates the power of love, determination, and compassion in overcoming adversity and finding true happiness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
