ABOUT BOOK

Janetta, the daughter of a struggling physician in an English country town, is left when quite a young girl to provide for her shiftless stepmother and a houseful of children. She is thrown in with many people who have histories and heartaches, and she always proves a true friend, with courage to speak the truth and energy to carry out her advice. The importance of keeping clear even of a shadow of suspicion in a gossiping neighborhood is a leading thought in the story.
