“The chief purpose of this book is the exaltation of motherhood,” says the author. Negatively portrayed the purpose is thruout enmeshed in a tangle of mistaken identities, with a bit of superstition thrown in and also some new thought ideas so directly opposed to fatality and superstition. There are sisters who did not know that they were sisters, there is child-loyalty given to the wrong mother, there are heart-aches and misunderstandings, righted in the end by demonstrating that fear is powerless.
