The Honor Girl

By: Grace Livingston Hill

Narrated by: Anne Hancock

Elsie Hathaway has it all: beauty, brains, and a strong work ethic. Taken in by her aunt's loving family after her mother's death, Elsie has had every advantage and earned every honor her school bestows. Her older brothers and her father remained in the family home and over the years their visits to each other were sporadic. But one day she drops by unannounced and discovers that this is the place where she is needed most.

The house is a mess, the men are not eating well and her brothers work at dead-end jobs with no plans for the future. While Elsie tirelessly attempts to set things to right, the listener gets a fascinating glimpse into life in the 1920s: how people decorated their homes; the kinds of food they prepared; what was required to get into college; the social hierarchies of the time.

Elsie's aunt feels she is ruining her life by moving back to a poorer area. But her selfless act has its own rewards ...

Sweet story

love Grace Livingston Hill romances at all times. Wish there were more audio books of them.

Delightful!

This was a wonderful and sweet history lesson and peak into the mid-twenties; the mid 1920’s. I LOVE the fur blankets to keep his passengers warm, in his car.
