Synopsis: "In a city separated by a river, a lovely girl [Frannie Fernley] from the poor side of town melts the hearts of the sophisticated rich when she skates over the frozen water and into the life of a boy [Val Willoughby] from the opposite shore. Frannie was a working girl who lived on the poor side of town. Across the river glamorous people glittered in high society. Wealthy Val Willoughby, impatient with their shallow world, was captivated by Frannie's sweet sincerity, and gladly crossed the river to court her. But sophisticated Marietta Hollister considered Val her personal property and jealously resented his association with such a common girl. Her spiteful vindictiveness threatened to poison both Val's reputation and Frannie's." The author interweaves Christian attitudes and doctrines within the lives of some of her characters.
