Heavy handed first book in the Drayton Hall Series. Laurence Bronson is a young man whose father is bankrupted by an unscrupulous business partner. The father has an accident and Laurence must swallow all manner of pride to support his family. Fortunately his goody-two-shoes nature means everyone bends over backwards to see that he succeeds. In the middle of all of this, his best friend Frank Austin has a bizarre conversion experience that has little to do with anything else in the story. Entertaining mostly for its plucky saccharin writing and some nice engravings. I've spent more time reading worse books.
