The family vacation at the beach is coming to an end. and Captain Raymond must be shipped off at once. So begins the long summer of raising Viloets adoptive children, Loving Max, Rebelious Lulu, and Fragile Gracie.
ELSIE'S NEW RELATIONS is a direct sequel to GRANDMOTHER ELSIE. It deals with storylines begun in the previous book, and we see Elsie presiding over her family as the beautiful, picture-perfect Mrs. Travilla.
