First published in 1930, Lida Larrimore's classic tale of love, romance and sibling rivalry follows the lives of Dr. Hugh Kennedy as assistant to Dr. Ballard of Mulberry Square, Dr. Ballard's sweet and generous daughter Janie, and Janie's lovely but somewhat pampered older sister Celia.

This splendid romantic love story set in the late 1920s. When Dr. Hugh Kennedy came to Mulberry Square as assistant to Dr. Ballard, sweet and generous Janie Ballard knew instinctively what the young doctor might some day come to mean to her. Imaginative Janie loved the "Square," its people and all that they stood for. Not so with Celia, her lovely and pampered elder sister. Restless and spoiled, Celia was anxious to "get away from it all." Fate ruled that Hugh should fall desperately in love with fickle Celia and it took a tragic accident to resolve Janie's problem and bring her the happiness she so richly deserved....

"Beautifully written, lovely story, engaging plot, delightful imagery, a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon." [private review]
