Harriet Beecher Stowe wants you to know she disapproves of:
- trading on your looks
- attempting to rise above your working-class origins
- not being into reading theology
- knowing a lot about clothes
- remodeling your house
- booze
- parvenus
- French novels

These are the kinds of stories I loved as a girl. They helped me to be better and kinder. I’ve missed them, and this won’t be the last of this kind that I read. I hope to begin reading them again. If you love Louisa May Alcott, you will love this.
