His Family

by Ernest Poole

"His Family" by Ernest Poole is a novel published in 1917. Roger Gale, a New York widower, struggles to stay connected to his three daughters as they navigate rapidly changing early twentieth-century society. Each daughter responds differently to modern life—one devoted to immigrant children, another to her own growing family, and a third pursuing personal desires. As family conflicts intensify and financial pressures mount, Roger must reconcile traditional values with a transforming world while honoring his late wife's wish to keep the family together.
