This is a classic story that would have taken place back in my Grandmother's or Great Grandmother's times.
Elnora was young backwoods girl who had great dreams of getting a good education in the city nearby yet she had many obstacles to overcome before her dream could and would come to fruition.

The first hurdle was perhaps the most difficult. When she attended her first day of high school, she was keenly aware that she dressed differently from the city girls and to her horror, she discovered that she had to pay her tuition and textbooks. She was forced to become creative in order to earn money and that is how our story begins to unfold.

Elmora was a spirited young woman who could make it in any time era but it was fun to read how an innocent yet strong willed young girl faced personal issues in her day. The core issues such as love, conflicts with Mom, getting along at school, loss of innocence and earning money are still the same, but are very different pictures of the ways young girls face them in today's world.
