This is the story of two northern orphans sent down to live with their grandmother and uncle in Charleston, SC. From their first disastrous encounters with the servants, very not-PC, to their profitable discovery of their own heritage, it's an exciting adventure for these two. I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected after the first chapter which started a little slow and a little stiffly, but once Gilbreth gets into a groove it becomes a humorous episodic tale with just a touch of family sentimentality.
