Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [a nice clean copy with no discernible wear]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "To / Doctor Charles: -- / The best of luck always, / and thanks for your / buoyancy and happiness. / It's such a tonic. / Simply and Happy / Reading! / Affectionately / Eva E. Moses / (Pleuty[?])." Vanity press novel set in the early 20th century, about the life of a family that migrates from Minnesota to Saskatchewan. Although there's generally a kind of broad assumption that most vanity press novels are thinly-disguised autobiography, in this case one contemporary reviewer of the book noted that "one has the feeling while reading this story that Eva Moses is writing not so much from actual experience as from hearsay." An uncommon book, this copy unfortunately lacking the dust jacket. Signed by Author.
