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.
