The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
"A Sunday School finale for a book the bulk of which is below stairs standard, with some pretty hot passages centering around an unconsumated marriage. The story is concerned with e the struggle of a young man to bring his delicate, beautiful wife out of her escapist dream of inadequacy in the face of any situation she dislikes. She is finally healed through giving of herself in the service of a Mrs. Meeker, a poor creature with arthritic fingers, and she wins enough courage to break the escape pattern. The husband meantime, with the help of the local librarian who introduces him to the world of books, is helped out of his slough of self pity, and in the end all seems headed for a successful marriage. A psychological novel for the ABC's."
