The Good Spirit of Laurel Ridge was
Jesse Stuart’s sixth novel. The
book tells the experiences of the aged hermit
of Laurel Ridge,
Theopolis
Akers—Old Op to his friends. Op is
firm believer in the world of the
spirits, or sperets as he calls
them. His simple life is turned
up-side-down, when his daughter Lucretia
comes from Dayton to take care of him;
only to be followed by two distant
cousins. At first Old Op accommodates
the new-comers, but as they begin to
corrupt Laurel Ridge with their city
ways, he wishes them gone and in the end
he is left alone again on Laurel Ridge
