Believe it or not, it  was reprinted as a hard back way back in 1926  and the 
author was Grace Livingston Hill  and it sells for something like $27.00 now- 
but apparently Tyndale republished it in 1996 for around $6.00 so you could 
probably get that without any problem.  I don't know if they changed the 
storyline at all. I have included a review I found on the book: s p o i l e r

This was the first of Grace Livingston Hill's books that I read, and I must 
confess that it's my favorite!! It's about a teenage girl who has gotten in 
with the *wrong crowd*; her father overhears two of her classmates discussing 
her on a train ride home, and this opens his eyes to much that was going on 
with her and his other children. So, he takes his family away to his old 
family home in Vermont to stay indefinitely. There are quite a few 
experiences, including the oldest daughter running away to elope with her 
*boyfriend*, and both of them nearly dying in a car accident. Even though it 
was written in the mid 1920's, it is still pertinent today!

Hope this helps!  Bonnie
