This month’s Free Read is a short story Isabella wrote about the consequences of judging people based on first impressions. The story was published in a Christian magazine in 1897.

Annoying, uncultured, and uneducated. That’s the impression Irwin Ford has of young Gardner, a college student who happens to live in the same boardinghouse. Irwin does his best to avoid all contact with Gardner, until one fateful evening when their chance conversation proves to be the catalyst for change in the lives of both men.
