Book Synopsis

Elizabeth Ann's Great-aunt Harriet was a widow who was not very rich or very poor, and she had one daughter, Frances, who gave piano lessons to little girls. They kept a "girl" whose name was Grace and who had asthma dreadfully and wasn't very much of a "girl" at all, being nearer fifty than forty. Aunt Harriet, who was very tender-hearted, kept her chiefly because she couldn't get any other place on account of her coughing so you could hear her all over the house.

    I just finished reading this to my 10 year old son. We both loved it! He was inspired by so many things... first the poem The Stag at Hunt by Sir Walter Scott. He looked it up and read the it aloud to me. I heard him later, when faced with something that seemed a little daunting, giving himself a pep talk about he could do it alone. He didn't need help! He thinks he might like to try sewing some pajama pants as well. I'd love to read more sweet, inspiring stories like this!
