About this book
On a stormy March evening, an exhausted woman reaches Fairview and discovers a home ready to receive her. Laura's arrival brings a tearful reunion with her daughter Evelyn, whose concern turns quickly to nursing, food and a comfortable room. Grandma Elsie and the Leland family help make the visitor welcome, while the children watch the unfamiliar guest with sympathy and curiosity.
Martha Finley's children's novel follows a large family through the practical work of caring for relatives and the pleasures of shared company. Later scenes move among wedding prospects, shopping, visits and a picnic with rowing and fishing. Lucilla's outing with Chester takes place under the expectations of her father, and an evening service gives daily life an explicitly Christian rhythm.
