The Obsession of Victoria Gracen is a lovely classic work by Grace Livingston Hill. The story concerns an orphan boy of wealthy Pennsylvania ancestry. He is born and reared in one of Chicago's roughest sections, and when, at sixteen, his mother dies, he has acquired many of the predatory instincts of his environment. Back in a small Pennsylvania town lives a wealthy maiden aunt. She takes the boy to her home, but understands intuitively that no ordinary methods will serve to eradicate these tendencies. The original way in which she undertakes the making over of her nephew's character makes lively and interesting reading.
