This story of six newcomers to a New Hampshire paper-mill town, who have to overcome the hostile aloofness and suspicion of the natives before they are accepted, has plenty of action, love interest, and not a false note. It centers around Eliza Forrestal who returns from Europe to run the mill which she inherits from her grandfather. Through her courage and honesty she gainst he trust of the millworkers - men who are slow to be convinced of a woman's worth outside the home, and slow to accept any new element in their mill. There's a wonderful clergyman, too, who helps to make the natives and outsiders understand each other, saves Eliza from the scheming hands of the mill manager, and finds in her the supreme answer to his own problems - making a very moving love story.
