According to the review of this book in the Boston Herald "The story is a masterpiece of characterization, and the description of the family life of the Dillards and the community affairs of Fraternity makes the novel one of high merit. Mr. Williams uses a style that is exceedingly effective in its simplicity and he weaves into his story a message and a challenge for all who live in rural New England, and for all those who have found cause for sorrow and regret in the decline of our farming communities."
