Description

Spirited Comfort Pease treasures a gold ring from her aunt until it goes missing amid school teasing and her mother’s rules, and guilt drives a search that teaches honesty, patience, and responsibility. Childhood conscience finds its fit. Spoken as when Comfort Pease still asks what a lost ring can teach before a new one can be worn.

Author

Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852–1930) grew up in Randolph, Massachusetts, and wrote the New England village as if every parlour were a theatre of will. A New England Nun is the famous short weather of a woman who will not be hurried into marriage; Pembroke is the same climate at novel length — pride, church, and a stubbornness that can freeze a town. She later took the Howells Medal. The regional is never small in her hands. Thrift has a pulse.
