The Hope of Happiness, by Meredith Nicholson (1866 - 1947)

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-hope-of-happiness-by-meredith-nicholson/

A hot and sultry day in the mid-west finds Bruce Storrs trying to cool off and clear his head. He has received a troubling death-bed letter from his mother and needs to decide if it is true, or the ramblings of a sick mind. If it is, indeed, true, as he suspects, what is he to do about it? And what will be his reception? (Summary by Lynne T)

Just as a short follow up (thanks for the assignment), ch. 7 has three section designations (RN I, II, II). Should I read these as "Section 1", and so forth? Or, leave them out?

Thanks

Fred.
