About this audiobook

Amity Bogardus thinks she has no talent. She also thinks she is plain. When she overhears her own family say as much, she retreats to a summer-house on her grandfather's estate and stays there alone. Then a kind companion, Mrs. Paget, comes to stay. Lucy Ellen Guernsey wrote this quiet story in 1880 for young readers. It is about slowly learning that a person's worth does not depend on beauty, success or praise, and about the value of small acts of service. Estelle Belong-Smrtnikova reads it in a little under two hours. For anyone who likes gentle old-fashioned stories about growing up.
