Published in 1922 by Charles Scribner's and edited Maxwell Perkins, The Love Legend was well received as a first novel. Four sisters living in the Lakeshore section of Chicago must each come to terms with the love legend, imparted by their widowed mother: That every girl who is good, sweet, and pure will be sought by a Prince Charming who brings love and happiness forever after. For each sister the legend has a different meaning and with each as suitors come and go, fate plays a different game. F. Scott Fitzgerald reviewed the book in the Saturday Review: "Easily the best picture of Chicago since Sister Carrie...it is honest, well written and thoroughly alive." The NY Times reviewed The Love Legend as well: ., ."a lively colorful tale....a considerable sense of humor....many sterling good qualities shown by this book." This book is not just a curiosity of the early modern 20th century, though it is clearly of its place and time. It is now ready to be rediscovered by modern readers.
