With a familiar, homespun touch, this returns to her Cape Cod background where a retired college professor comes to board with the Eldridges, finds himself drafted as librarian, when pretty Libbie Lane breaks her leg. There's romance, too, as Libby is courted by one of the Eldridge sons; there's mystery surrounding her father, who is in jail until the establishment of his innocence brings fulfillment of romantic happiness for all concerned (including the new librarian).
