Unlike her tender-hearted sister, Helen’s choices are dictated by fear of what her friends might think if she associates with someone so shabby and so different! Her unchecked temper causes great harm, but God’s love proves to be greater than Helen ever imagined.

Helen is only one year older than Betty, but far more thoughtful – far more hard-working – but she has another problem: her hot temper! How true it is that God sees us not as we do. He looks at the heart, while we tend to judge by outward conduct, and form shallow opinions of others. See how the story of “the good Samaritan” plays out in this tale, and how Helen learns to face the truth about herself.

Character themes in this story: peer pressure, salvation, self-control and sibling rivalry.
