One thing about M A Nichols is that she is not afraid to return to incidents that were not resolved initially. In THE SHAMELESS FLIRT, the baby Dottie was taken by Ambrose Ashbrook because her father did not want her. In fact, he told her to throw the baby in the gutter. Ambrose was traveling to his sister's house with the baby when he met his future wife, Mary. This changed all three of their lives.
Overall, this is a sad story of a negligent father trying to reconnect with his adult daughter, which causes great grief in the Ashbrook family. Fortunately, there are many light-hearted touches in this story that balance the somber tone of a daughter reaching out to a father she did not know while trying to keep her family close.
