One of the most common themes in Isabella Alden’s stories was kindness and the powerful impact even a small gesture can have on another person.
This month’s free read is a short story that beautifully illustrates that theme when a grateful family reaches out to a lonely, hardworking fisher boy who feels entirely forgotten.
Orphaned Willie Evans thinks nice times are only for other people—until a dramatic seaside rescue changes the course of his life forever. Originally published in The Pansy magazine in 1883, Isabella’s story shows how one act of kindness can turn one child’s hopelessness into a lifetime of blessings.
