About this book
A farmer seeking a secure place for his savings visits his wealthy merchant brother and finds that they understand prosperity very differently. Howard thinks of money as a responsibility to his family, while Mr. Draper sees opportunities in trade and land. Their conversation opens Hannah Farnham Sawyer Lee's moral novel about ambition, domestic happiness and the meaning of having enough.
The household scenes give these arguments a personal cost. Mrs. Draper values the time that relentless business leaves scarce, and the country setting brings attention to farming, flowers and ordinary work. At Clyde Farm, views of the Merrimac and conversations between Frances and Charlotte connect daily care with religious reflection. Readers interested in early American domestic fiction will find a story that tests financial success against health, companionship and the quieter satisfactions of a useful life.
