Freda Jayme's stories are reflective of her world of the 1980's, when it seemed life was easier, more romantic and civilized. These are tales of women fo rwomen, and for men who admire this other half of the population. These women are products of their time - in "Joy comes with Aurora," the heroine is 15 years old and "sufficiently versed in the management of the household and the bringing up of children - after all this was the year 1877 in the Royal City of Manila!"
