The Cameron family--once wealthy members of the best society--are virtually penniless. But there's a rumor in town that a distant relative has singled out one of the Cameron daughters to inherit wealth past counting. But which daughter?As the eldest, Mary Cameron knows she must wed a rich man to save her family from ruin, yet her growing friendship with a handsome, but impoverished neighbor has her thinking more about her heart and her soul than her pocketbook. And sister Rachel must deal with her own set of admirers, including an unexpected suitor she knows she can never accept.

The Camerons were moving. That was their chronic condition; at least so the neighbors thought; and really it did seem as though they were always either just trying to get settled in one home, or planning to break up and get ready for another.

A truly sad case; a man of integrity weighted down with a family who are trying, every one of them, to do what they cannot; live and dress and act as though their father was a millionaire, instead of a salaried clerk.
...the young man of whom I speak lost the opportunity, and if I am not greatly mistaken, spent the evening in a way which he will not describe to his mother when he writes that long letter for which she waits. One of these days the young man's heart will ache because of the places he left blank in those letters. Be sure she notices the evenings about which he is silent; I am afraid she even cries over them; it is a way mothers have; and the days will surely come when he cannot reach her with letters. If I were he, I would make them wellsprings of joy to her while I had her.
... Ben was growing cultured. He was associating much with an absolutely perfect gentleman, even one, Jesus Christ. He was trying daily to shape his actions, his words, even his thoughts, in line with that One whom he so admired; and the law of our being held good here, as elsewhere, - he began to grow, slowly, indeed, yet steadily, like the Object on which his thoughts and hopes were centred; and people began to feel the charm, as they always do, even though they may not always be well enough acquainted with the Original to recognize the likeness.
