Against the Odds: Tales of Achievement by L.M. Montgomery

3.0

Fun! A lot of very similar tales, as always, but a couple of standouts. Although they were predictable, I found a lot of charm to "In Spite of Myself" (or whatever that story was called) and the final story about the strike. "How We Went to the Wedding," meanwhile, was a whole other adventure tale on its own. Ignoring if at all possible (cringe) the wildly ignorant stuff about "Indians," this was a good story and very different from anything else of hers I'd ever read. No wealthy benefactors or long-lost relatives, no love interests, just a couple of women making a long trek and the various adventures that befell them on the way.
