About this book
A seaside summer gives Ethelwyn and Beth room to play, ask difficult questions, and notice their mother's worries. Charlotte E. Chittenden's children's novel opens with the sisters sharing a train picnic after an outing that has caused Mrs. Rayburn considerable concern. The family has suffered several losses, and an invitation to a cottage offers their mother rest and time to consider the future. Their grandfather's legacy also brings a lesson in using money generously.
The girls' conversations carry much of the story's humor. Beth muddles words while Ethelwyn corrects her, and even a doll wedding becomes a lively argument over the ceremony. A visit to their grandmother includes a pony ride, roadside flowers, and a rhyming game invented by their mother. Readers interested in family stories will find affectionate sibling friction alongside Christian teaching about kindness, responsibility, and helping others.
