This book tells the story of four carefree young women who, while vacationing at a Massachusetts resort, embark on a struggle for salvation and commit themselves to Christian service. Combining conventions of spiritual autobiography with those of the sentimental novel, Emma Kelley-Hawkins presents a powerful spiritual message alongside a belief in the strength of matrifocal communities.
