About this book

A move to Westover gives the Holabird family a new home and a fresh set of household problems. Their house must itself be moved onto land owned by Grandfather Holabird, whose strict views on spending make every new carpet or gown a source of worry. A. D. T. Whitney's domestic novel introduces Rosamond, Barbara, their brother Stephen and their cousin Ruth through family jokes, money troubles and the small distinctions of a town where an address signals social standing.

The story pays close attention to the work that keeps a household comfortable. Rosamond fashions a hat ornament from feathers, while Barbara and Ruth share the folding and dampening of laundry after an evening of croquet. Meals, sewing and chores become occasions for conversation and affection.
