31 pp. OUT of her profoundest convictions and the depths of her heart comes this booklet by Mrs. Norris, perhaps the most popular woman novelist in this country. And she seems to have written it, not for the sake of expressing her own ideas and feelings but because she believes thoroughly that what she says in it needs, just now, very badly to be said.--NY Times. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Kathleen Thompson Norris (July 16, 1880 – January 18, 1966) was an American novelist and newspaper columnist. She was one of the most widely read and highest paid female writers in the United States for nearly fifty years, from 1911 to 1959. Norris was a prolific writer who wrote 93 novels, many of which became best sellers. Her stories appeared frequently in the popular press of the day, including The Atlantic, The American Magazine, McClure's, Everybody's, Ladies' Home Journal, and Woman's Home Companion. Norris used her fiction to promote family and moralistic values, such as the sanctity of marriage, the nobility of motherhood, and the importance of service to others.--Wikipedia
