"Cape Cod Folks" is a beautiful story about learning the actual value of real people, which disguises itself under challenging situations. The story tells of a sophisticated "high-class" teacher coming to a small town to learn that the habits of the locals are pretty different from hers. Yet, she learns that these simple, salt-of-the-earth people are kind and noble and deserve her deepest respect. The book teaches an important moral lesson about true life values.
