"This is a lovely old-fashioned story about a young woman who starts out life expecting to get an education to become a teacher, teach for a few years and then marry and have children (this is in the late 1800's)and life becomes nothing she expected (sound familiar?). You follow her through her whole life as a teacher and her incurable optimism and selflessness, and the courage to do the right thing was inspiring. Just more proof that Bess Streeter Aldrich is one of our most under-appreciated writers."
"I really enjoyed this book. It was very well written. I could feel the sorrows & the joys experienced by Miss Bishop. She was a truly courageous woman. I look forward to reading more by this author."
"The heroine of this novel, Ella Bishop, is a healthy, sensitive, energetic, and happy person as she begins her college career in the Midwest in 1876. Her energy and devotion to learning made her an excellent student, then a gifted teacher. People were drawn toward her friendliness and enthusiasm. During her life she was betrayed in love when the man she was to have married was stolen by her young cousin. She was called upon to raise their daughter when the cousin died. Later on in life Ella was sorely tempted to have an affair, but she resisted the temptation. She is an unselfish heroine whom one can both love and admire, and the novel is one the reader won't want to put down until it is finished. In this day of flexible morals, Ella shows us one can remain steadfast in doing what is right, and that one can forgive one who has inflicted deep emotional pain"
"I've seen this author's books on the shelf all my life and never could be bothered. Picked this one up on a whim and quite liked it - a good old fashioned yarn - sort of character who would have been played by Olivia De Haviland...we don't have any of these old maids around any more, but every family used to have one, who would raise all the abandoned or orphaned children, and never be loved enough."
