- Synopsis
- Jewel Cloud has spent her life caring first for her brothers and sister and then for her ailing mother. When her mother dies, her wealthy college-age nephew and niece ask her to be a surrogate mother to them when they go off to college. They buy a house and live near campus. Julia, whom the children call Cloudy Jewel, enjoys being a mother to these young people and their friends. She re-introduces them to the pleasures of closeness with God and Christ, and the children become a vital force in the church, youth group, and college community. The young people fall in love, and have some good and bad experiences. This book was originally written in 1920. The publisher haas retained the hyphenation and speling of the 1920 edition. Thus words that we don't hyphenate today, like today and upstairs, are hyphenated: to-day, up-stairs. Also, some words are spelled differently, e.g., clue is spelled c l e w instead of c l u e. There is also some dialect.
