Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Old House on Briar Hill
There was a long evening before them yet, watching the Old Year out, and waiting for Roy.
Gwin sat curled up in a corner of the fire place, her elbows on her knees, and her fingers thrust among her short, curly locks. Her brows were thoughtfully knitted, and she gazed at the red embers with a far-away look in her eyes.
Betty, in the mother's chair, rocked uneasily and sighed often, sure signs of a crisis in her troubles. But Gwin, usually so ready with words of cheer, took not notice.
