Maurice Traherne is wrongly accused of fraud and gambling and must play a careful hand if he is to win his love, Octavia, from the grasp of other, less honorable men and retain the trust of those who had faith in him.

This novella, The Abbott's Ghost, is another hidden gem written by Louisa May Alcott. Maurice Treherne saved his cousin Jasper's life after a misadventure in the water, and was made a cripple because of it. Jasper of course is forever grateful, but due to a small faux pas does a poor way of showing it. Maurice is in love with his cousin Octativa but due to his circumstances, Octavia's mother puts a wrench in any happiness as her daughter should and could do better. In the end, a ghost story comes true, paving the way for the couple's future. - Source: Whitney (First Impressions Reviews) - Goodreads
