A message of good cheer, of happiness, of love, is carried to the reader in this delightful story of Phyllis, who is the cheery "Liberry teacher" and Allan, a sad invalid whom she marries after a rather curious proposal to escape her life of drudgery. What follows is a humorous and heartwarming tale of two lives.

Splendidly written, Miss Widdemer's sentences dance and sparkle with the very rose-garden sunbeams—a fascinating and wholesome plot—this is a book to read and pass along to your friend who needs a reawakening, a good laugh, a day full of glad thoughts and surprises. Made into the 1917 film "A Wife on Trial".
