Cody Hill was only 9 years old when he first saw Mavis Short in the woods behind the shack the Hill family called home.  Mavis was Mavis Cooley at that time.  It would be two years until she married old Earl Short.  Mavis was like a big sister to Cody.  He knew she was resigned to marriage to Earl.  Cody guessed Mavis was going to have a baby even before she knew it herself.  Mavis knew in her heart the baby was a little girl.  She told Cody she would name her daughter after the beautiful irises that bloomed by the river every year.  Through the kindness of Mrs. Crenshaw, Cody was sent to live with Professor Tanner.  Cody's life changed from that point on but he never forgot Mavis or her daughter Iris.  Cody sets out to rescue Iris from the same fate as her mother in FINDING IRIS.  Much to Cody's relief, Iris is well taken care of and a very important part of a happy family living in Camden Corners.  This story and others may be found in THE CAMDEN CORNERS SERIES VOLUME THREE.  Available on Smashwords.com, Kindle and Nook for only $1.99.
