The Copy-Cat, and Other Stories
By Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman
Length9h 11m
About this audiobook
A young girl, desperately seeking acceptance, entirely erases her own identity to mimic the most popular student in her school. This poignant narrative explores the universal, aching childhood desire to fit in and the heavy cost of losing oneself in the process. It serves as an anchor for a collection that masterfully examines the quiet, overlooked tragedies and small victories of ordinary lives. The stories are filled with deep psychological insight, revealing the extraordinary depth behind seemingly unremarkable people. It is a brilliant, empathetic look at the masks we wear and the courage it takes to take them off.
