About this book
A crowded railway platform welcomes Prudence to Mount Mark, Iowa, where her father has become the Methodist minister. Her joyful greeting, forgotten suitcase and questions about the parsonage introduce a girl whose affection and absent-mindedness share the page. Ethel Hueston's family novel places the preacher's daughters among curious townspeople, church concerns and the small demands of making a home.
Inside the parsonage, polite behavior proves difficult to manage when sisters have plans of their own. Fairy prepares for a caller while the twins, Carol and Lark, slip into a bedroom and announce an unusually early bedtime. Prudence hopes the visit will go smoothly, but her suspicions keep the scene lively. The book offers domestic comedy, sisterly rivalry and first love, with humor drawn from conversation and the gap between respectable intentions and household mischief.
