Thistledown is a novel written by Cecilia Viets Jamison and published in 1903. The story takes place in the rural town of Thistledown, where the main character, a young woman named Ruth, returns to her childhood home after living in the city for several years. Ruth is faced with the challenge of reconciling her past and present, as well as dealing with the secrets and scandals of the town's residents.
