Daisy explores the spiritual and emotional growth of a young individual learning to interpret the world through both privilege and compassion. It examines how early experiences and personal revelations can shape a lasting sense of purpose. The narrative focuses on the awakening of conscience, revealing how belief and education become intertwined in forming identity. Through quiet observations of inequality and moments of internal questioning, the story draws attention to how awareness deepens through contrast. The novel does not treat faith as a destination, but as a process marked by doubt, sincerity, and renewal. It also reflects on the disorientation that accompanies change both in environment and expectations as well as the emotional strain of loss and unfamiliar authority. Yet within those uncertainties, the work emphasizes a search for truth that is steady and personal. The story invites reflection on how conviction grows not in ease but in challenge, and how the development of moral insight often begins in childhood observation.

Susan Warner was born in New York City on July 11, 1819. Warner could trace her family history back to the Puritans on both sides. Her father, Henry Warner, was a New York City lawyer originating from New England, and her mother, Anna Bartlett, was from a wealthy, fashionable family in Hudson Square. When Warner was a young child, her mother died, and her father's sister, Fanny, moved in with the Warners. Despite being wealthy, the father lost the majority of his income during the Panic of 1837, as well as via following lawsuits and disastrous investments.
