I can see why this 1917 novel won the 1918 Pulitzer for Novel. It is a socially conscious book, and the main character, Roger Gale, becomes a better man through his three adult daughters. The middle one, Deborah, is obviously the most sympathetic to modern audiences and to the author as well. Highly recommended.
