Summary

 Have you ever encountered a heroine who defies the traditional notions of beauty? In Edna Ferbers captivating storytelling, we meet just such a character in the first of four enchanting short stories that showcase the remarkable courage and faith of ordinary people—individuals like you and me. Ferber, celebrated for her works like Show Boat and Giant, invites us to explore our own vulnerabilities and the complexities of love, where sometimes the prince doesnt end up with the right princess. The collection also includes A Bush League Hero, What She Wore, and The Man Who Came Back, each rich with insight and emotion. (Summary by Phil Chenevert)
