MONTGOMERY, L. M.
Patricia Gardiner hates change of any kind and loves her home, "Silver Bush," more than anything else in the world. Throughout the story, various friends and family members are lost to Silver Bush, through marriage, death or travel, but Pat is sustained through these losses by her enduring attachment to her birthplace. Sentimental and poignant, the story of Pat demonstrates Montgomery's continual theme of domesticity as the principal basis for happiness.
