Addressed to shop-girls, clerks, farmers and busy housewives rather than scholars, this novel weaves its author’s spiritual philosophy into the story of Clara Lawton and her friends. Ranch talk, courtships and marriages, a resort hotel with evening classes in science and literature, and characters such as Julia Hammond and Stella Wheelwright carry its argument for a better way of living.
A curious turn-of-the-century novel of ideas, for readers interested in California and the reform movements of its era. Download the free EPUB.
