Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Loving Remembrance of Ann Hayes
A little figure with fair white hair parted above a delicate face, stands in an open door, with hands outstretched, and a sweet-spoken word Of welcome. It may be she stands in the front door, as you come up the stone steps between the banked lawn; or maybe she waits at the back door, under the spreading apple tree; but you cannot pass without obeying the gently imperious lady; you step in to receive from her some attention, be it only a word Of inquiry, showing her friendly interest and knowledge Of your life. If you can be prevailed upon to stay, how anxious she is that you have the best chair and how she busies herself that you may be' at ease. How many who pass the white house on the corner still see, in memory, dear Aunt Ann, as we loved to call her, at the door to greet them and are made bettermen and women for the vision Of this quiet, loving woman. She lives in our hearts and it seems scarcely necessary that anything should be written Of a life so recorded; but many have expressed the wish that a tribute be paid to her, and as she was ever ready to serve others, I accept this task gladly for her.
