Here we meet Julia Ried and Dr. Douglas of Ester Ried. Due to their mother's poor health, the family home has broken up, and Julia has become self-supporting against her mother's advice. Her new friend, the mistress of her boarding house, a "professing" Christian, easily overwhelms the impressionable young girl and gradually starts drawing her away from her more conservative upbringing. As Dr. Douglas tries to point out what is taking place, she becomes prideful and resentful, and plunges further in the opposite direction. She wastes valuable opportunities to help others and be a testimony for the Lord. At last, after a tragedy, she comes back to the Lord, recommits her life, and begins to attempt to undo some of the damage she has done. The great value of this book is in showing how foolish young people are when they do not listen to those who are older and wiser, and also makes one aware that not everyone who professes to be a Christian is a friend.
