Eighty Seven
Pansy
Read by TriciaG
Twelve-year-old Winter Kelland is an orphan indentured to a cold, harsh farming couple. His one bright spot is eight-year-old Vine, a neighbor girl who believes he can do great things if he can get an education. Win finally has enough of the hard life at the farm and runs away. But he discovers that even his poor life at the farm was desirable to being a half-starved tramp. At his lowest, he encounters a prickly spinster who learns to follow God's command, "He that honoreth Him hath mercy on the poor." The title, Eighty Seven, refers to the year Vine will turn 22 years old and will have a grand birthday feast, and is a tribute to her Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (CLSC) graduating class of 1887.

I've read many Pansy books, but this one is exceptional. It touches on so many human states and emotions that touch many lives and situations.

From the context, the setting seems to be the initial Chautauqua summer program and associated mail-order educational programs. For some reason, the names and any other identifying information have been omitted. (? legal issues?) Anyway, it's a sweet romance with some appalling background information about the treatment of orphans in the poor house.
Beautiful Story
Luba - Healthy with Luba
It is a beautiful story of God's care of an orphan boy Winter and his friend Vine who were suddenly separated.
