Moss Collier, a hard-working man who has never lied or cheated, is suddenly convicted (without a jury) of using and abandoning Eulie Toby. The story opens in the hills of Tennessee, with a shotgun wedding (complete with a loaded gun at Moss? back) and a very happy bride (Pollyanna could take lessons from Eulie).
After their parents died, the children were parceled out to various farms to live. Eulie made the claim that she was ?with child? because she was desperate to gather her brother and sisters together ? safe under a strong man's wing.
However, farmer Moss had other plans; he was saving and preparing to become a cattle rancher out West. The only fly in the ointment was Moss? uncle, an ex-soldier who had lost his legs during the Civil War. Moss promised his dying mother that he?d care for Jeptha Barnes for the rest of his life. The ?soon-to-die? uncle was still alive 20 years later.
The hermit (Uncle Jeptha) and confirmed bachelors (Moss and Jeptha) were horrified by the arrival of the children and Eulie. The son, Ransom, was belligerent and hostile; while the youngest girl (Minnie) was a certified screaming brat. The twin girls, Nora May and Cora Fay, were the real bright spots; they were kind and helpful to all. Clara was dreamy and in her own world, a quiet compliment to Eulie.
Eulie got to be tiresome after awhile; she decided that Moss should ?just get over it? regarding her deception. Of course, she did not know about Moss? long-held dreams of moving west to Texas.
Eulie also was rather controlling about her brother and sisters. She?d decided that they all would live together ?happily ever after.? Her siblings had other ideas and didn't take long to put them into practice. Fortunately, Eulie grows through the pain she experiences with her siblings and Moss? plans to move to Texas.
Moss was truly the rock upon which these 8 people could meld into a family. Eulie, Ransom, Jeptha and Moss grew tremendously during the course of this story. This was a very satisfying book!
