Summary

Roddy's character-building, entertaining stories, set against the crushing problems of the Great Depression, inspire and challenge today's young readers to "hang on" through present-day troubles. Here, Hildy learns that although change is an inevitable part of life for everyone, it is possible to have faith in God in the midst of anything life sends along.
