194412426Garden City NY: Doubleday Doran & Company Inc. Very Good in Good dj. 1944. Later Printing. Hardcover. price-clipped good solid copy nice and clean except for some dust-soiling to top edge; jacket worn along right and left edges of front panel light soiling very minor chipping at spine ends main flaw is a large surface-peel scar on the rear panel. Unaccountably scarce novel about a woman "whose selfless love for her husband gave her courage to meet her greatest crisis" -- namely being diagnosed with terminal cancer during the early months of pregnancy with her second child. She doesn't tell anybody -- not even her husband -- as she bravely goes about preparing her family for life without her. As a tale of mother love and self-sacrifice it ranks right up there with "Stella Dallas" and it was the basis for the 1950 movie of the same name a big-time weepie which ironically or not proved to be the final screen performance of Margaret Sullavan. It was also apparently the author's only book -- which leads to the somewhat morbid speculation that it might have been a veiled work of autobiography. And for Lewis Carroll aficionados there is a lovely evocation of "Alice in Wonderland" in the book's final scene. . Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc. hardcover books
