More DescriptionAn excerpt from The Book Review Digest, Vol. 11:
Julia Page, born and brought up to the age of seventeen in the most sordid surroundings, lifts herself by her own efforts to a higher level. Life in a settlement house offers her an opportunity and she takes it, learning the finer ways and manners of life from the people with whom she comes in contact. She marries well, winning both love and position. Before her marriage she has told her husband of the one dark blot on her past and it is agreed between them that it is to be forgotten. But the husband cannot forget; a long separation follows with a final reconciliation, out the story seems to show that for a woman with one transgression to her discredit, there can be no sure and permanent happiness.
Julia Page rings true as steel from start to finish. She is a real personality and one that refuses to be forgotten. What the reviewer wishes to emphasize is the fine artistic balance, the unobtrusive and yet pervading contrast between the beginning and the end.
