Katherine Anne Porter's short novel Old Mortality might be a tale of teenage rebellion except that the rebellious acts are all committed by an aunt long dead. The story, centered around the impressionable Maria and Miranda, daughters of a puritanical Southern patriarch, describes how one of them breaks free from a life of remembered greatness to realize her own potential.
