The very last novel that Gene Stratton-Porter wrote before her death. The tale of a wounded World War I veteran, a beekeeper and an impish tomboy all helped by each other. A book that examines the healing power that nature and kindness can have upon someone’s life. Gene Stratton Porter's optimism and confidence in nature are on full show in this distinctly American tale of adventure, hope, and healing. Many films have been influenced by it.
