About this book
A crowded winter street brings Jennie Grig's work to a painful halt when she is knocked down and breaks her arm. Her first worry is how her parents will find food and fuel without her earnings. Helena Dunmore offers shelter and care, opening a story in which a child's hardship draws wealthy and struggling households into contact. F. Burge Griswold's collection also names Nannie Bates, a seller's daughter, and Archibald Mackie among its young central figures.
The rural gathering beneath an elm in the preface frames tales concerned with the pressures of city life. In Nannie's story, an injured mother, scarce sewing work and approaching rent make each small expense matter. Christian trust and practical generosity shape the moral outlook of these stories.
