Mary Lee the Red Cross Girl

A spirited young farm girl trains in first aid and becomes an active Red Cross volunteer, combining home life, friendships, and community duties. She assists at a sanitarium, helps organize picnics and fund-raising efforts including selling liberty bonds, and prepares for camp service. Family events such as an aunt's marriage and visits from friends intersect with practical tasks and outdoor adventures, including being lost in the woods and participation in small rescues. Along the way she receives an unexpected legacy, weighs choices about employment, and grows into a capable, resourceful helper whose practical skills and steady character support her community’s needs.
