AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A young girl of Roman Catholic parents has been in the care of a Protestant children's home. When her baby brother dies, a Roman Catholic woman of the parish intervenes, persuading the girl's mother to send her daughter to a Roman Catholic establishment. The mother agrees despite the child's objections to the Romanish ways of her new home. Gradually, the girl responds to the kindness of those in whose care she finds herself and she accepts the rituals and practices which had formerly been anathema to her.
