I just recently re-read this and was charmed again by the simple story and the humble emotion. I really enjoyed the transformation of these "rough around the edges" boys through the quiet love of Miss Willie.
Abstract: When the Yosts, a Mormon couple with ten children, temporarily take in four more kids, chaos and adventure ensue.
The title is curious and amusing because of the enormous popularity of Hartman Rector Jr.'s earlier 3-volume series "No More Strangers" that related, in serial fashion, many personal accounts of conversion to the Mormon fiath.
