I got the first book at Goodwill, and it was sweet, so I did a quick wikipedia search on the others to see if any were worth pursuing. Most looked bad, but this one lured me with the promise of romance for Polly, and boy was I rewarded. Polly fields four proposals in this book, even though we all knew who she would end up with before the book began. Along the way, there are many dramatic deaths and moral lessons. My favorite moment was when a character said something "lugubriously." A quick somewhat enjoyable read, but nothing to match the other similar stories of this era from Alcott and Montgomery.

Yay, yay, yay!!! There were so many tense moments in this one that it was terribly hard to put it down at all. The Peppers, Fishers, Kings, and Whitneys are just as wonderful as ever, and I'm so happy about the ending and how everything worked out. Bring on the next one.
