[a solid copy, nice clean boards with minimal wear, would be Near Fine but for light red (remainder?) stripes across top and bottom page edges; jacket is heavily edgeworn, faded at spine, minor paper loss at top right-hand corner of front panel]. INSCRIBED ("For / Joan Graham / With a 'thank you' / for your interest in / my work.") and SIGNED by the author on the ffep. Novel about the difficulties faced by a young bride who has moved from the big city to her husband's small town. "Her friends felt sorry for her, but Judy Stevens was secretly glad to be leaving the city. She pictured the small country town where she was going as a sort of secure, restful retreat, and her new husband's work, with all its human contacts and high idealism [he is, of course, a minister], appealed to her warm romantic nature. After she was settled in Hillville, she realized that her problems there were doubly difficult, because she must solve them under the prying surveillance of the entire community." The author's literary career began when her first novel, "Straw in the Wind," was awarded the 1936 Avery Hopwood Prize for fiction; it came to its conclusion with this, her second (and last) book.
