Description

Comfort Pease, a spirited girl in a small New England village, treasures a gold ring from her aunt. As she navigates school life, teasing, and her mother’s rules, the ring goes missing, sparking guilt and a heartfelt search. Through trials and confessions, Comfort learns honesty, responsibility, and patience, ultimately earning a new ring that fits, blending childhood innocence with enduring life lessons.

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.
