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. It is considered a fixture in the domestic genre
showcasing the growing pains of womanhood. Aside from Uncle Tom's
Cabin, Warner's was one of the most circulated novels of its time.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of The Wide, Wide World is both modern and
readable.
