The Road to Understanding
by Eleanor H. Porter
How does being a generously spoiled child affect a person's ability to function as an adult? It is an always timely theme that Eleanor H. Porter, the author of Pollyanna, explores with insight and intelligence in her fascinating novel The Road to Understanding. As a child, Burke Denby bathed in toys and sweets, and in his youth, his hedonistic mindset influenced his ability to choose the right couple. Fans of domestic dramas of the early twentieth century will enjoy this fascinating reading.
