An Oregon lumber camp furnishes the setting of this story whose young heroine is more the daughter of the camp than of her selfish father who spends his wealth in the cities and returns home now and then to nag and to criticise the unrestrained manner in which his wife is bringing Gret up. The wild free life of the camp, Gret’s unthinking joy in its content suffer never an interruption until love comes when she is changed into a thoughtful woman.

“But vivid as Gret’s personality is made and absorbing as is the story of her triumphs, there is never a moment when either gets out of the realm of romance into commonplace reality.”
