What They Couldn't: A Home Story
Pansy
Gelesen von TriciaG
The Cameron family tries to keep up in society despite their more limited finances, by "making a dollar look to [their] friends as though it was ten dollars," much to the harried father's embarrassment and potential ruin. In addition to the financial stress, the youngest daughter has been "bringing up herself," such that she's on the road to moral peril. This story follows the life of the family as they walk the tightrope between social acceptability and financial stability, moral failure and strength through the guidance of Jesus Christ. - Summary by TriciaG (11 hr 25 min)

Pansy's books are so often focused on the evils of alcohol. This book portrays a family in the crisis of living above their income. Interestingly, it also shows that, in the 19th century, girls were somehow expected to understand the social and physical dangers of being alone with men without being taught!
Lovely Story of Transformation
Luba - Healthy with Luba
Another classic by Pansy. An aunt who is begrudgingly invited into the home is the one who helps them all at the end! Highly recommended.
