The Australian Woman's Mirror provides the following introduction to this novel:
'The thousands of readers who enjoyed this writer's "Life's What You Make It" will welcome this latest novel from her pen.
It is a New Zealand story with an unusual love-interest in which a tragic misunderstanding overshadows the lives of the principal characters, and in the central masculine figure Miss Rees has given us an excellent study of a type quite different from the conventional "hero" of fiction.'
