PERFORMANCE EDITION
by Querida Funck
A quiet girl. A rare bird. A choice no one will ever know she made.
In this gentle abridgment of Sarah Orne Jewett's classic 1886 short story, a young girl named Sylvia must choose between the promise of connection and the quiet pull of her own integrity.
Set in the forests of rural New England, The White Heron explores the delicate boundary between belonging and betrayal, between protecting what we love and seeking the approval of others. This edition retains the lyrical simplicity of Jewett's original while offering clarity and accessibility for today's thoughtful readers.
Part of the Whispers of Forgotten Women series, this short volume invites reflection on what it means to hold silence, keep loyalty, and live gently in a noisy world.
An independent publisher of print and audiobook editions — blending artistry, performance, and timeless storytelling.
At Lemery House Press, we publish stories that stay with you — the kind that echo long after the last page or final line. Whether it’s a children’s book that sparks imagination, a memoir that preserves lived experience, or a theatrical work that finds new life on stage or in voice, our mission is rooted in honoring story as legacy. Everything we do is connected by a belief in the power of storytelling to preserve memory, deepen empathy, and give voice to what matters. We don’t aim to publish everything. We aim to publish what endures.
