Publisher's Synopsis
The incidents of this little home story are all true, even to minute details, as far as memory serves one of the actors in this drama of home life after the lapse of many years; but as most of the principal characters are still living, the correct names have, for the most part, been withheld. Should one of your children ask, -Mama, who was Bessie Worthington?- you can truthfully answer, -She was a little girl who lived in Michigan; and she and her papa and mama are still living.
