About this ebook
How an enterprising woman helped establish a tradition that Americans still observe today.
When Esther Howland first saw the fancy valentine her father brought home from England, most Americans thought Valentine's Day was a waste of time. But through the card, Esther felt how much her father loved her. Could she help others express themselves in the same way?
