"Here is a precocious woman who possessed a great purpose in life, and one who heroicly defied distaste for eugenic beatitudes. She vitalized her character with the symphoneic thought, "Blessed are the well-mated. Why not genetic classification for humans as well as for animals?" Previously published as a serial under the titles "Thoroughbred Humans" and "Give Me Joseph" or "Blessed are the Wellborn." Jacket comments from various editors and readers inclluding L. M. Montgomery.
