Mrs.Carey, a strong and loving mother, and her children, Nancy, Gilbert, Kitty, and Peter move to a small village in Maine after Captain Carey dies in the Spanish-American war. This classic novel, from the author of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, explores themes of motherhood, gentleness, and sacrifice, while highlighting the importance of family relationships as the Careys face challenges together and find joy in their new, simpler life.

Black and white illustrations by Alice Barber Stephens perfectly capture the comradery of the Carey family.
