Aunt Crete's Emancipation (Grace Livingston Hill Classic Ser. #7)

Synopsis

Though considered plain and dumpy, Aunt Lucretia was a rare jewel of a lady--never complaining... always obedient... gentle, considerate, and perseverant. With patient servitude she bore the abuse heaped upon her by an ungrateful sister, Cassie, and an insensitive, social-climbing niece, Luella. As an elderly maiden, “poor old Aunt Crete" waited on them hand and foot in order to earn her keep. Little had she in life to look forward to, until an unexpected telegram came from an unfamiliar relative. The message was from Donald Ward, Cassie and Crete's Western-raised nephew, who announced his impending arrival for a brief visit. Luella was nothing short of mortified. She assumed that since he came from the West, he surely must be a wild and ignorant man. What if the refined society gentleman she wanted to attract should see her awkward and uncouth "country cousin?" Cassie and Luella escaped in time before Donald arrived, leaving Aunt Crete behind to receive their guest amidst a senseless assortment of tedious chores. Imagine Aunt Crete's surprise when her nephew turned out to be a cultured, handsome young man of great wealth and generosity! He showered upon her the care and adoration she had long deserved---and also decided that it was time to teach his demanding Aunt Cassie and vicious cousin Luella a painful lesson!
