Set in the remote village of Great Pond, Maine during the first
half of the nineteenth century, its heroine, Harriet, leaves her
comfortable home in New Brunswick, Canada, along with her husband
to assist his ailing parents, who live in a tiny wilderness hamlet.
Her courage, self sacrifice, and determination, as well deep
religious faith, was the inspiration for this book. Although the
story is fictional, Harriet was a real person who possessed many of
the virtues of its main character. Her stoic nature and remarkable
abilities not only enable her to adapt to an completely different
lifestyle from her former one, but to initiate many improvements in
the community and its life style as well. Although this writing
features hardships and demanding circumstances placed upon the
people concerned, it also contains their joys and even some
romantic occasions.
