AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Romance and family reunion in New York. A rich girl's natural parents decide not to reveal themselves to her as she seems rich and happy. Her adoptive mother's fatal illness and their shaky financial state; the girl's engagement to an Englishman her father knows to be married from his days in Australia; and the interests of her struggling playwright suitor all combine to reveal to her who she truly is. Plot predictable though unusual in some details; light narrative with touches of sentiment. (PB)
