A tragic airplane accident, causing the death of both parents, left the seven young Graemes to be quarrelled over by their stodgy relatives. "Aunt Petunia" and some of the others not only wanted to separate the young people but looked forward to managing the ample fortune left by John Graeme. Jennifer, on the wrong side of her twenty-first birthday to be legally the head of the house, took matters in her own capable hands and left in a hurry with her younger brothers and sisters in order to be out of reach of the relatives. Many ups and downs welded the young Graemes even more closely together and brought them closer to the highest source of all-pervading good. Mrs. Hill has created a beguiling heroine in Jennifer Graeme. The adventures of the seven young people are described with the sympathetic understanding that Grace Livingston Hill brings to all her novels.
