There is invariably something to laugh or cry about and a lot to think about in these short stories by Edna Ferber.

Selina sees beauty everywhere, including in the fields of cabbages. She has a natural curiosity about farming and oversteps the woman's traditional role by having the audacity to ask the men questions. She soon marries Pervus DeJong, a farmer.
