Nearly every time I read or reread one of Mrs. Alden's stories, I think it must be the best one! This one surely is near the top of the list! This story begins with Flossie Roberts of Four Girls at Chautauqa, having been just married and moving to New York to begin her new life. This story excels in showing the reader how to really live and work for the Master, our Lord Jesus Christ! It shows the reader countless ways to reach some of the most seemingly unreachable people for Jesus. Also, Flossie is an excellent example of a soft, feminine woman with a gentle, but powerful, Christian walk. Best of all, this is a true story. Mrs. Alden assures the reader that there really was a Flossie Shipley (albeit her name could have been changed), and she really did accomplish these things in her early days of marriage. If that be true, then I would assuredly think much of the Chautauqua and Ester Ried series would be based on true stories. You will not want to miss this one! KOF Old Reprint.
