Just David

by Eleanor Hodgman Porter

The touching story of an endearing 10-year-old boy who is suddenly orphaned and transplanted from a world of music in the mountains with his father, to the provincialism of the little town of Hinsdale. It is the story of how the simple, undefilable goodness of David transforms the lives of the people who reluctantly take him in.
