The Iron Lady Book

It's been a long time since I read Gilbert Morris, but now I remember why I wasn't too impressed. It's a perfectly adequate book, just nothing which grabs you or stays with you...I can't remember much from any of the other half-dozen Morrises I've read. Of the characters, I liked the Iron Lady herself, Esther Winslow, but felt both the other two cousins were just stock, stereotyped characters -- Ruth, the good missionary nurse, and Rachel, the sinner on stage. As a historical, the use of Pakistan jarred, considering that the story is set almost half a century before that country ever came into existence.
