This 1912 collection of twelve short stories is notable for its refusal to provide happily-ever-after endings. Instead, Ferber focuses on the everyday hardships and triumphs of her characters, mainly shopgirls, secretaries, and other working women. Included are ‘The Frog and the Puddle, ‘ ‘The Man Who Came Back, ‘ and ‘The Homely Heroine.’
