The volume entitled "Rod's Salvation," contains four short stories, some of which are long enough to be fairly called novelets.... "Rod's Salvation" is a good picture of 'longshore life, telling of the devotion of a sister to a scapegrace brother and well worthy a reading.—Springfield Republican.
Miss Trumbull is blessed by a most delightful and unpretentious gift of story-telling. Her work suggests a twilight musician; she has a certain dainty humor in her touch.—The Citizen.
"Rod's Salvation" appears to us the most interesting sketch of the four in the present volume. It proves a thorough comprehension of the noblest characteristics of the inhabitants of the typical New England fishing village. The author shows us diamonds in the rough, and with a most happy talent, suddenly reveals to us the gleaming beauties beneath their rude exterior. "Rod's Salvation" is an inspiring story, the pathos of which is accentuated by the delicate satire, exquisite humor, and touches of kindly human nature which lead one up to the unexpected climax.—The Church Review.
