Eleanor H. Porter 
Miss Billy 

A young woman is orphaned and has no surviving family members to turn to. Desperate and alone, she reaches out to the only "family" she has left – a college chum of her father’s, after whom she was named. Based on the name she signs at the bottom of the letter she sends to him, William Henshaw insists that she come to live with him and his brothers. When she arrives at the house and Henshaw realizes his error, everyone has some adjusting to do. Will this makeshift family be able to make it work?
