This is the true life story of O. Douglas’ mother, but depicted as a fictional mother reminiscing with her daughter. The story starts with the mother’s early marriage and family life in Scotland, where she sets about raising six children while supporting her husband, a minister. This pleasing, nostalgic book is full of domestic joy and love, but tinged with tragedy as the family struggles with illness and the First World War. Published 1922.
