retailer "Note: In her lifetime, Isabella MacDonald Alden was usually published under the pseudonym Pansy, and occasionally under the name Mrs. G.R. Alden."

"Ruth Erskine, the sole daughter of the wealthiest family in town, a girl who had no idea of life except as a place in which to have a serenely good time.

Eureka J. Mitchell, Ruth's most intimate friend. Lighthearted and indifferent, Eurie knew how to laugh and chat merrily in any and all circumstances.

Flossy Shipley, born to a wealthy family to be loved and cherished and allowed to have her own sweet and precious way.

Marion Wilbur, a young woman of poor, yet hard working stock. She dressed in severely plain black or brown suits with almost--and sometimes quite--no trimmings at all on them. And yet, for all her apparent plainness, she ruled them all.

Though they didn't know it, all four were about to embark on the adventure of their lives!

Heartwarming stories of faith and love by Grace Livingston Hill's aunt—Isabella Alden. Each book is similar in style and tone to Hill's and is set in the late 1800s and early 1900s." from Goodreads
