It did not seem to Marcia, only seventeen though she was, that her beautiful sister Kate was acting quite as a young woman should who was going to be married in just a few days. But then Kate had always been headlong and thoughtless, and how could she help but really love David, who was so quiet and steady and strong? And all of a sudden the world turned upside down, for on her wedding eve, Kate eloped with a young lieutenant, and Marcia found herself walking down the aisle in her sister's place, on the arm of a David who seemed just a shell of his old self. How Marcia, in trying to really take Kate's place, encounters problems and heartaches before she wins lasting happiness is told with sympathy and understanding.
