Patty at Home

In the second novel in Carolyn Wells ‘Patty Fairfield’ series, we re-join the now fifteen-year-old Patty as she puts what she has learned about keeping home into practice for herself and her father. There are the inevitable, humorous mistakes along the way, and we watch as Patty makes new friends and her excitement at attending parties. A sweet, of its time, and charming follow-up to Carolyn Wells first Patty Fairfield novel.
