About this book

Rain and sleet keep Mrs Inglis and her son David watching the window as they wait for the minister to return from preaching at North Gore. Inside, the children gather by the fire for hymns, Bible reading and prayer. Their visiting cousin Francis Oswald notices the warmth of this plainly furnished home and the conviction behind his aunt's faith. Margaret M. Robertson builds her children's novel around this family in the township of Gourlay.

Christian belief takes shape in household conversations, sibling teasing and concern for one another. A discussion of a Bible passage raises the value of helping others, while a later spring scene brings rising water, garden plans and visitors arriving by boat.
