Marjorie Bradford's first novel has the reader savoring her well-turned phrases, devouring the story, and feeling very satisfied with the fullness of the character development. This wholesome book uses the people of Haley, removed from us six decades, not only to entertain us, but to teach us a few things about the inner person (without being preachy or syrupy.)
