The Dimmest Dream

The Penn Publishing Company, 1929

"Silver and Gold! Silver and Gold! I'll Never Marry Until I grow Old." Lois Winthrop is a spoiled darling. Everybody loves her even though she successfully evades life's duties without being discovered for what she is -- a selfish little minx. Then death intervenes and Lois left alone with her brother's child to rear. She continues to dance on her way, lightly shifting the care of the child to other shoulders, until she meets a man who paints her portrait in true colors, and from then on she begins to develop. Dr. John Allison, that gruff woman-hater, finds in Lois the woman of his dreams, while she discovers the real joy of life once she learns to live for someone besides herself. A thoughtful tale written in an intriguing style with a delightful romance.
