There are so many kinds of love: romantic, filial, spiritual …The following stories by Mary Roberts Rinehart present all sorts of love:

“Twenty-two”“Jane”“In the Pavilion”“God’s Fool”“The Miracle”“Are We Downhearted? No!”“The Game”

Many of the stories take place in hospitals, and two involve trans-Atlantic steam travel. Many have a light heart at their core, while some may induce the wonderment of social issues of their time and of ours. All end with an element of hope and happiness.
