The Weathercock — Margaret Maddocks

With both her love affair and her job at an abrupt end, Meg Florey had to get away to re-evaluate her life. Helping Helen Sherdon look after her widowed nephew's house and three small children seemed the perfect solution.

But torn between Hal van Berg, who loved her, and Andrew Sherdon, whom she soon came to love, Meg gradually found that her repressed desires for a home and family of her own were torturing her with a nagging insistence.

Forced to look deep into her heart, Meg realized that she had taken the first step towards maturity.
