An interesting story about Twiddie, a waif who becomes the life of a farmhouse, and the crippled son of the house, Hugh—evidently his back was broken in a logging accident, and he lies on a bed, helpless, at the age of twenty-three. He journals; she grows up, bringing him to awareness of life beyond his bed. The book is an interesting combination of her life, Hugh's journal, and Twiddie's letters when she is away.
The style of writing is lyrical and heartfelt. A true gem from the past.
