Knoxville, Tennessee: S. B. Newman & Company, (1939). First Edition. Inscribed to Mayor Thomas Gamble by the Author’s Daughter. Octavo, green illus. cloth (hardcover), gilt letters & decorations to upper cover, xiii + 300 pp. Clipping from dust jacket pasted to fep.; otherwise, Near-Fine with sunned spine. From dust jacket: In her new novel, Daughter of the Sun, Mrs. Kennedy has followed the modern trend in handling a subject of sociological importance, skillfully probing into the tendency of newly-rich families, and particularly women, to adopt loose, abandoned styles of living. Mrs. Kennedy was in Florida during the world-shaking real estate boom there in the early Twenties -- saw it begin and saw it end. Since the boom is the general backdrop for her story, she is able to, and does, write with a ring of authority on this particular phenomenon of human and business nature. A charming, interesting novel. (Inventory #: 1707gls)
