The Willows: The Door to a New Life

Willows Maternity Hospital
Haworth, Edwin P.

Promotional booklet published by the Willows Maternity Home. The cover page notes "As told by a mother - only a mother could have writ this. This is the first time we have had the case of an unfortunate girl presented from the angle of her mother. Good fortune gives us the presentation by an unusual and interesting mother. Very few people ever visualize a case as it comes from this woman's pen until it appears as a member of their own family. In fact, few people are even then so philosophic and reasoning, and yet withal so charitably loving to their erring daughters. Read this mother's story."
