Dawn (also known in England as "Keith’s Dark Tower"), was published in 1919, and is set during World War I. Keith Burton is going blind. It is hard for him and his family. Most of the book deals with their ways - right and wrong - of dealing with the situation. At the end, Keith finds pride in helping blind solders.

Eleanor H. Porter was a writer of many popular children’s books and novels, including the Pollyanna and Miss Billy series, as well as Just David, Oh, Money! Money! and more. (Summary by Stav Nisser and Maria Therese) (8 hr 20 min)

Wonderful Book!

Oh how I enjoyed this book! I have heard of Eleanor H. Porter because of her Pollyanna book but had never realized that she might have written more until I discovered LibriVox! Thank you so much for the wonderful stories! I enjoy hearing them so much!!!
