About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 56 full-page plates by Marianne North, Walter Sickert and John Everett Millais. Four girls who gather at an old widow's house are told that each of them may enter the heavenly City by a different gate — east, north, south or west — and the book follows the very different roads their lives then take: a sick mother, an unexpected calling, a home to keep, a hard lesson.
