_A NOVEL OF COMPELLING INTEREST_
The Heart of Desire
By ELIZABETH DEJEANS
_Author of "The Winning Chance."_
WITH COLORED ILLUSTRATIONS BY THE KINNEYS
12MO. CLOTH, $1.50
A remarkable novel, full of vital force, which gives us a glimpse
into the innermost sanctuary of a woman's soul--a revelation of the
truth that to a woman there may be a greater thing than the love of
a man--the story pictured against a wonderful Southern California
background.
"One of the big headliners in bookland."--_Detroit News._
"The book is a tissue of mysteries, quite apart from the ordinary
usages, but solved in the end satisfactorily."--_Chicago Tribune._
"One of those rare examples of literary composition the artistic
excellence of which is uniform and even throughout."--_Charleston
News and Courier._
"There is color, vitality, and freshness in the picture, and
charming variety of detail in the development of story. Horton
is the ideal lover, strong-hearted, wilful, persevering; and
Kate is the vivid, tantalizing, impersonal creature in an armor
of secrecy. But the author transforms this woman into a being
of rarest and most beautiful human qualities--or rather, brings
those latent emotions to the fore. She is a woman racked by grief
over death and unhappy marital experiences in youth, and, later,
a woman 'lied to, tortured, duped, and her heart polluted and
desecrated'; and in giving up her beloved lawyer-friend, whom she
would have married, to the 'helpless, motherless, hampered' child
who so passionately claimed his love, Kate's humanism stands out
in almost supernatural power."--_Boston Evening Transcript._
