Narrated by Kate Fenton
Although a far cry from "Uncle Tom's Cabin" , this was an interesting short story about an ordinary girl named Mary. Mary is considered a beautiful seamstress but definitely not the type of gal to turn a man's head. So when Mary starts walking with a young man, it is more than the wagging tongues in her small town can handle.

The story was interesting, but then it just ends like WTF? I don't like it when books do that.

This was just too dated for me. The workings of a busybody blows up. Audible version.
