"The Pearl of Love; or, Josey's Gift" by Madeline Leslie is a heartwarming story set in the late 1800s. It follows the life of a young boy, Josey Codman, and explores the impact of love, kindness, and moral development within his family. Josey deals with typical childhood issues like getting angry and coping with his mischievous younger sister. An accidental baby swap teaches him about the power of family connections. The narrative shows how Josey learns to be patient and loving toward his sister, Emma, and demonstrates his desire to address hardship in some way. Rooted in biblical teachings, the story highlights the need for empathy and generosity, seen in Josey's choice to help his Aunt Fanny's missions.
