Book Description
"An Old Chester secret" tells of Miss Lydia Sampson's adoption of the boy whom she called Johnnie Smith, of her loyalty to him in the face of base suspicions, and of the bitter conflict of wills when Johnnie's real parents tried to take him from her. "When Old Chester wondered" is the story of Rose Knight, braving the gossip of the town to save the man she loved. "The Eliot's Katy" is a masterpiece of mother-love; it tells of the great-hearted sacrifice of the unlettered Cockney cook, who publicly denied her daughter that the girl might be free to play the part of a "lady" in the world"--Dust jacket.

Book Description
A hundred years ago, Margaret Deland was a top American author on par with Mark Twain, William Dean Howells, or Thomas Hardy. She rubbed elbows with presidents and became a prominent member of Boston Society. But she is also a study in contradictions and almost unknown today. This Civil War era orphan raised by old school Presbyterians became an independent, self-made woman during Victorian times. She captures the struggles of nineteenth century women in her novels; she took unwed mothers into her home but declined to join the suffragette movement. Her literary success did not deter her from assisting soldiers in Europe during World War I or mingling with persons of very diverse backgrounds and faiths. But beneath an interesting life and career is a deep study and questioning of beliefs. A quest for objective confirmation of an afterlife-especially after the death of her beloved husband Lorin-led her into contact with mediums, psychical research and spiritualism. This in-depth and very personal biography reveals how relevant Margaret's life, work, and ultimate insights are to our own.
