A quiet study of what character is actually made of. Mary G. Ware examines the qualities, truthfulness, self-control, kindness, perseverance, that combine into a trustworthy person, and how each may be nurtured. Gentle and thoughtful, it reads like counsel from a wise teacher who believes goodness can be grown. A reflective companion for anyone interested in building, in themselves or their children, the traits that wear well over a lifetime.
