Sinclair's "modern Pamela is a naive country girl, a devout Seventh-Day Adventist, who goes to work as parlormaid for a wealthy and eccentric California family. In a series of letters to her mother and sister , she tells the story of her awakening to a bewildering world. Her battles against the seductions of the young master, a playboy of the twenties, provide a series of episodes that are comic, pathetic, and as true to life today as they were two hundred years ago; and they lead to the rewards of virtue just as they did in the eighteenth century". 314 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
