Returning to her family home after losing her husband at the end of
their thirteen-year trip to Africa, Aunt Catherine is frail and
confused. Blind since birth, Catherine now has to cope with new
surroundings and unfamiliar relatives. And only she and her middle
son Jedidiah, who accompanied his father and mother on their
travels, know the contents of her late husband's will, and of the
keepsake trunk, stored all these years awaiting her return. As
Catherine disembarks from the ship, she is welcomed by her
childhood friend Becky, and Becky's daughter Myrtle. Myrtle has
also experienced loss; her husband and her father both died in a
boating accident two years earlier, leaving her with two small boys
to raise. Written in a style reminiscent of the popular author of
the time, Victor Appleton (the pseudonymous author of the "Moving
Picture Boys" and "Tom Swift" series), "Aunt Catherine" offers a
glimpse into life in the American northwest at the end of the Great
Depression, as it was experienced by Catherine and her extended
family and friends.
