The other students laugh at her clothes, and then--to make matters worse--she learns she has to pay for her books and tuition. But her mother has never been able to show Elnora any real love, and she refuses to part with money for "foolishness." Just when everything seems hopeless, Elnora learns that the Limberlost, the swampy forest near her cabin, hides a treasure of love. Gradually Elnora uncovers the forest's many mysteries, including a dark secret about her father and the key to the love her mother has hidden from her for so long. Readers of this gripping, powerful story will understand why "A Girl of the Limberlost" has been called one of the most popular American novels ever published. 1194469 book 1909 A Girl of the Limberlost total:1725|5:737|4:638|3:274|2:63|1:13| 1725 7198 2269 317 4 3 true false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 17 18:21:10 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 17 18:29:58 -0800 2007 more...]]> 2 2 false true Wed May 28 15:43:46 -0700 2008 Tue May 13 19:25:32 -0700 2008 Wed May 28 15:43:47 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 3 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 06:00:11 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 06:09:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 3 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1976 Thu Jul 19 15:49:41 -0700 2007 Sun Jul 22 19:56:13 -0700 2007 Girl of the Limberlost remains my favorite.
