Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a story that would be appeal to young women who like to read and to others who just like a good clean story.  The orphans in this book have a range of ages which is revealed as the story progresses.  The main character, Mary, is especially sympathetic as she progresses from a poor orphan in a poor house to a servant in a widow's home to a young adult who has worked hard for her education.
