Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Her Son: A Chronicle of Love
A few of my English critics - notably the more youthful to whom sentiment is as henbane - have chal lenged not only the credibility of my heroine's conduct but also its possibility. The story happens to be a true one. Of course I am well aware that this is not an adequate reason to justify its reappearance in the guise of fiction, but it is worth recording that since the book was published in England a second case of a young lady adopting a child and presenting it to the world as her own has been brought to my notice. At any rate, in America, where women occupy so high a place, and inspire in men a devotion and reverence less common upon this side of the Atlantic, I venture to believe that Dorothy's altruism will be regarded, even by undergraduates, as natural and, with a due regard to the circumstances, inevitable.
