Excerpt from The Turn of the Tide: The Story of How Margaret Solved Her Problem
No, clear. We traveled about for almost a year. You were five when I lost you. Mrs. Kendall's voice shook. Unconsciously she drew Margaret into a closer embrace. Even now she was scarcely sure that it was Margaret - this little maid who had stepped so suddenly out of the great silence that had closed about her four long years before.
Margaret laughed softly, and nestled in the encircling arms.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book begins a charming journey of Margaret Kendall, a young schoolgirl who suddenly finds herself thrust into a life of grinding poverty and relentless hardship when tragic circumstances cause her to become separated from her wealthy family at the tender age of five. An orphan adrift in the teeming, unfeeling metropolis of New York City, she must now contend with the harsh realities of life on her own. Through sheer pluck and a touch of good luck, she is taken in by a poor Irish family who had little to give but the boundless warmth of their own hearts. And so, Margaret, now known as Mag, undergoes a transformation. From the day she found her way to the Whaley's doorstep, her life would never be the same. Her experiences, and her transformations, would shape her into a young woman of remarkable courage, kindness, and wisdom. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
