Freeman drew accolades for her short stories—often portraits of New Englanders—and for her superb eye for detail. She captured nuances of dress, home and household furnishings, food, and gift giving. The stories in The People of Our Neighborhood are all interrelated: from “Little Margaret Snell: The Village Runaway” to “Amanda Todd: The Friend of Cats.”
