1902. Henry's historical novel of the Mormons and the settlement of
Utah begins: Carissa Graham had grown from girlhood to womanhood
under purely masculine guardianship. Later this fact was recalled
in explanation of her singular course. At the time of this story,
however, when she was just completing her eighteenth year, the
outcome promised to disarm adverse criticism. For the shrinking,
shy unformed child, who had brought the burden of a recent sorrow
into her uncle's great house and had found there no feminine arms
to receive her, and no motherly voice to comfort her, was, by some
process, transformed into a trusting, sweet-faced, generous-hearted
girl, who had won her way into the affectionate admiration of all.
