This review is from: Invitation to live (Mass Market Paperback)

Barbara is told that she has no way to know if people like her for her money and position or for herself. The question bothers her so much that she takes up a new life as a working girl in another part of the country and ends up remaking herself and influencing others to do so too. Full of remarkable coincidences as books of this era tended towards, but great story about remaking identity, attitudes, and much more.

Lloyd C Douglas is one of my favorite authors, and this is the best. Others that rank right up there are Green Light and White Banners. And I really think that Dean Harcourt is one of my favorite fictitious characters.

In this story, the main character sets out to find out who she really is apart from her money. She also tries to help someone else along the way, but then almost causes the girl to be totally ruined. Through it all, Dean Harcourt guides her in good ways, and she is a much better person in the end.
