So you're the little woman who started this big war, Abraham
Lincoln is said to have quipped when he met Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Her 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin converted readers by the thousands
to the anti-slavery movement and served notice that slavery's days
were numbered. Overnight Stowe became a celebrity, but to defenders
of slavery she was the devil in petticoats.Most writing about Stowe
treats her as a literary figure and social reformer while
underplaying her Christian faith. But Nancy Koester's biography
treats Stowe's faith as central to her life -- both her public
fight against slavery and her own struggle through deep personal
grief to find a gracious God.
