Book Description

An Old Chester Secret by Margaret Wade Campbell is about an old spinster who must stand up for herself against her son and his wife who have rejected a son at birth. Excerpt: "THERE was not a person in Old Chester less tainted by the vulgarity of secretiveness than Miss Lydia Sampson. She had no more reticence than sunshine or wind, or any other elemental thing. How much of this was due to conditions it would be hard to say; certainly, there was no "reticence" in her silence as to her neighbors' affairs; she simply didn't know them!"
