An easy, predictable read, if a bit preachy. But it didn‘t require much from me as a reader, which is what I need right now as I am down with strep. Full of early 1920s slang, and clear-cut good vs. evil.

Ruthiella Hope you feel better soon. ❤️ 4mo

Julia Cloud faces a bleak future. To the rescue, her niece and nephew ask her to be their dorm mother. They decorate their new house and it is fabulous. And sandwiches are cut into shapes and tied with ribbon and hot chocolate is topped with billows of whipped cream.

A chapter on observing Sunday almost made me bail. But suddenly, the butterfly niece changes. She gets tough and kinda violent. It kept me reading till the end.
