Beschreibung

When her father leaves and mother becomes ill, a girl is sent to live with a distant relative where she learns some hard life lessons. The girl encounters both good and bad people, but maintains her Christian values. Ellen Montgomery's life drastically changes when she's forced to move in with her estranged Aunt Fortune. The environment is cold and oppressive, a stark comparison to her mother's comforting home. Despite the changes, Ellen explores her new community making several friends along the way. As the years pass, she experiences sickness, death and eventually love. She uses her faith to guide her through many unexpected trials and tribulations. Ellen's story is a testament to a person's ability to stay kind and optimistic no matter the circumstance. The Wide, Wide World was Susan Warner's first and biggest commercial success.

Autor

Susan Bogert Warner was an American Presbyterian author of religious fiction, children's books, and theology writings. She is well known for The Wide, Wide World. Her previous works include Queechy, The Hills of Shatemuck, Melbourne House, Daisy, Walks from Eden, House of Israel, What She Could, Opportunities, and House in Town. Warner and her sister, Anna, authored a series of semi-religious books that were extremely successful, including Say and Seal, Christmas Stocking, Books of Blessing, 8 vols., and The Law and the Testimony. Susan Warner was born in New York City on July 11, 1819. Warner could trace her family history back to the Puritans on both sides. Her father, Henry Warner, was a New York City lawyer originating from New England, and her mother, Anna Bartlett, was from a wealthy, fashionable family in Hudson Square. When Warner was a young child, her mother died, and her father's sister, Fanny, moved in with the Warners. Despite being wealthy, the father lost the majority of his income during the Panic of 1837, as well as via following lawsuits and disastrous investments.
