About this Book

Print Excerpt


The dinner bell rang downstairs. Ellen started to slip the novel back under the Bible, then changed her mind and set it on top of the Good Book. At that moment she made up her mind to accept the job. It was only for a year.

She wrote Lizzie right away, and her sister wrote back, "Of course you should accept. What a grand adventure. If you don't like it, you can always go back to Iowa."
