Boston: Lothrup Publishing Company, 1895. Hardcover first edition - A novel by this New England author best known for her humorous sketches. It begins with a mother returning to Boston from a nine-month long trip in California to find that her 15 year old son has grown both physically and mentally and is now balanced between boyhood and being a man. This was presumably based on her own experiences, since she made an extended tour to the west coast in 1887-88. Illustrated with full page glossy plates and en-texte drawings by C. Chase Emerson. Tissue guard at frontispiece. While Green was a very popular author in her lifetime she is almost unknown now, with none of her books available. 262 pp.
