About this book
On a stormy October night, a stranger places a baby in Parson Dan's arms at the door of Hillcrest rectory. Inside, he and Mrs. Royal have been remembering the son they lost. Their bewilderment turns to tenderness as Mrs. Royal unwraps the child beside the fire. This opening gives H. A. Cody's children's novel a household setting where grief, kindness and the wish to care for someone shape the characters' responses.
Boy Scout friendships bring a wider world into the story. In the city with Phil Dexter, Rod feels overwhelmed by a crowded public gathering. His thoughts turn to Whyn and to the difficult task of asking Anna Royanna to visit her at Hillcrest. Mrs. Royal's trust in Rod contrasts with his own wavering confidence. Readers can follow how a desire to help another person tests a boy's courage, alongside scenes of parish life and affectionate family conversation.
