Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sister's Vocation: And Other Girls' Stories
It was not entirely because her father had died, and the two little boys had been sent away to school. That was six months ago, and Sister was a brave girl, and a healthy one, too. She and her father had been busy all their lives, and had scant re spect for people who sat idle too long for the sake of grief. She remembered how, when her mother died, her father had worked his hardest - and she knew now how he had felt then. She had come to Aunt Ida's with the firm determination not to obtrude herself or her sorrow, and she had succeeded. Indeed her success had been, if anything, too great. She had been a mother, a housekeeper, a teacher, and the best of friends to all her little family from the day when, on her fifteenth birthday, she had proudly taken Aunt Julia's place be hind the coffee. She had reigned for three years, and now, her kingdom over, she had come to a house where she was the merest guest.
