I believe this is one of the stronger books of LM Montgomery's short story collections.  The theme here is people persevering against various kinds of troubles, and how they prove themselves.  There are always a story or two in any short story collection that don't hit right for the reader, but for me personally, this has far more hits than misses.  I've returned to this several times when I need something quick and pleasant.
