Produktbeschreibung
Author Eleanor H. Porter's "Miss Billy's Decision" is a fascinating book that comes after "Miss Billy" and "Miss Billy¿Married." The story keeps going with the adventures of the candy principal person, Billy Neil, who's now Mrs. Bertram Henshaw. As Billy deals with the demanding situations of married existence, the tale takes a touching flip while a new individual, a younger orphan named Jemmy, comes into it. The story is ready Billy's selection to attend to Jemmy and the problems and joys that include it, consisting of developing the Henshaw own family. The writer Eleanor H. Porter skillfully writes approximately love, sacrifice, and the way family ties alternate through the years. As the tale goes on, it has a wonderful mix of humor, disappointment, and Porter's signature heat tone. "Miss Billy's Decision" isn't a continuation of the Miss Billy collection. It can also be examining on its own as a story about the obligations and rewards of being a figure. People can relate to the human beings within the book, and the topics of affection and own family ties are undying. Again, Eleanor H. Porter's talent as a storyteller shines thru, making this a part of the Miss Billy series a satisfying and heartwarming addition.
