Story
Jamie MacFarlane has returned a hero from the Great War but with a stubborn chest wound. The government has sent him to their new thermal springs hospital in California "where it was hoped that the brilliant sunshine, the fruits, and the clean air, the eternal summer of a beneficent land" would heal him. But nothing has worked, and with his parents now deceased and no one to care for him, it seems the next step is a camp rife with tuberculosis. Realizing this, Jamie begins his great adventure on foot toward the ocean.

Beautiful Story
This is a beautiful story by the author of Anne of Green Gables. This is one of her few “adult” books, and is a very enjoyable read. So good that Audible has added it. The reader is superb.

I found this a little hard to get into it first, because I had been reading all the Anne books. But once I got interested, I enjoyed it. I hated to see the end.
