, THISTLE Rept; REPRINT Edition
Here is one of the most popular American novels ever published, the moving and richly human story of a young girl who triumphed against adversity and poverty to achieve lasting happiness. Elnora Comstock, who grows up in a shabby house in the Indiana woods, is a loveable, self-reliant girl, who seems to make friends with everyone but her cold, indifferent mother. Determined to go to school in order to secure the best education she can, Elnora collects moths which she sells, but even in this she is hampered by her mother's dislike and suspicion. Mrs. Comstock constantly blocks her daughter's efforts to rise above her barren surroundings, she forces her to wear unattractive, old fashioned clothes and discourages all the ambitions which the artistic, talented girl holds dear. How Elnora finally unravels the secret locked in her mother's heart and how the two are reunited, provides a thrilling story. Elnora's own kindness and wholesome philosophy enable her to brighten the lives of her many friends, bring happiness to a spoiled, idle heiress and find romance and marriage with a wealthy young man.
