Description
Ferber's first big success as a writer came with the character Emma McChesney, a plucky, self-made businesswoman. This volume, published in 1914, is the second in a trilogy that begins with Roast Beef, Medium (1913) and finishes with Emma McChesney and Co. (1915). In this book, Emma's twenty-one-year-old son, Jock, comes to the fore.

Description
This 1912 collection of twelve short stories is notable for its refusal to provide happily-ever-after endings. Instead, Ferber focuses on the everyday hardships and triumphs of her characters, mainly shopgirls, secretaries, and other working women. Included are "The Frog and the Puddle," "The Man Who Came Back," and "The Homely Heroine."
