More about this item
A boy is sustained through the horror of coming blindness largely by the cheerfulness and self-composed poetry of Susan Betts, the neighbor's "hired girl." After he is totally blind and grown up, of course he falls hopelessly in love but wouldn't be a burden. He finds consolation in work for blinded soldiers and the girl, after an illuminating conversation with Susan intimate her readiness for the "burden." Even more sentimental than Porter's other works.
This book has handwritten remarks on the front inside cover and the back dated 1930 which I have left intact. There is slight seperating of the spine as shown in photos.Still in good readable condition. Please message if you have questions and thanks for looking!
