This is the final volume in the trilogy following the smart, stylish, 
divorced and independent businesswoman Emma McChesney in her 
career from stenographer, then drummer (traveling salesman) to 
owner of her own company. (The first was Roast Beef, Medium and 
the second Personality Plus both in the Librivox catalog). Edna 
Ferber first gained success with these stories and later went on to 
write Show Boat, Giant and other well known books. First published 


in 1915, Emma's son, Jock, has moved to Chicago with his new wife. 


Emma decides to sell in South America and proves she has not lost 
her magic touch. Emma gets involved in romance, saving a business 
and many other things. Emma symbolizes the ideal woman at the 
dawn of the twentieth century: sharp, capable, charming, and 
progressive. (Summary by Phil Chenevert)
