About the author
Grace S. Richmond
52 books31 followersGrace Louise Smith Richmond (1866–1959), American romance novelist created the Dr. R.P. Burns series.
Her first short stories were published in various women's magazines including the Women's Home Companion, Ladies' Home Journal, and Everybody's Magazine as early as 1898. Richmond wrote 27 novels between 1905 and 1936. Red Pepper Burns was published in 1910. Like most of her strong-willed yet compassionate characters, R.P. Burns is a kind, old-souled country doctor who makes house calls. His fiery red hair and temper to match earned him his nickname Red Pepper, though he is still a charming and endearing gentleman. Mrs. Red Pepper (1913), Red Pepper's Patients (1917), and Red of the Redfields (1924) followed.

I read Richmond for the way she portrays the beauty and significance of home. I enjoyed the portrayal of Crossways and the new home in this book, and appreciated their symbolic importance in the story. And of course, I enjoyed the references to other literature.
According to the note inside the front cover, I first read it on April 1, 1981, but I didn't remember anything beyond a vague mental picture of Crossways and Joan. It was a pleasant read.
