JO ALLEN'S PREDICAMENT

by Elizabeth Hamilton Friermood ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 17, 1959

The predicament of Jo Allen, an eighteen-year-old orphan, was, in nineteenth century Missouri, a difficult one. Determined to keep what is left of her family together, there is little professional opportunity open to her. When she accepts a job as a housekeeper for an irascible old woman, her situation becomes even more precarious, particularly as she is suffering the pangs of an ardent but unrequited love. A romantic and engrossing novel which sees Jo Allen through her problem and launches her on the way to a secure and happy marriage, this is emphatically a girl's book. By the author of Head High Ellen Brody, That Jones Girl, etc.
