Authored by Isabella M. Alden under the pen name Pansy, this captivating tale is the first in the Chautauqua Girls series. Set against the backdrop of a vibrant adult education movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, their lives are forever transformed through culture, entertainment, and the bonds of friendship.
