About this book
Katie Haydon wants the excitement of London and a position helping her cousin in a baker's and confectioner's shop. Her mother would prefer a household post nearer home, and her Sunday school teacher asks for a meeting that might change those plans. Afraid of losing her chance, Katie decides to keep the message to herself. Pride in her prospects and anxiety about her schoolfellows' opinions make a small act of concealment feel necessary.
Emma Leslie places the pressures of earning a living beside questions of honesty, prayer and social standing. Later conversations with Katie's cousin Marion concern a lost purse, clothing expenses and a shilling owed for a steamboat fare. These ordinary worries give the moral conflict a practical setting. This Christian novel for young readers offers a look at working life and the uneasy choices of a girl who wants independence while still valuing her mother's trust.
