This is one of the best books. Re-read it about every 5 years. Working on my 6th copy. Keep lending it so other can read it and I don't get it back. Highly recommend this book. Teachs that one should look below the surface and there is dignity to be found everywhere.

This is an AWESOME story! First, it's based on a true life event. Secondly, the style and flow are so enjoyable to read. I have read this one many times (not this copy....just the book!) and always enjoy it. Find out about the "old time" missionaries in America. It's a love story...a story of hate...a story of diversity...a story of fables and colorful language....a story of great characters....a story of Queen Esther....bootleggers...beautiful children and details about clothes, food, nature, you won't forget this story and your heart and faith will be lifted up.

One of my favorite stories as a kid. I loved the descriptive style of this book. The way Marshall explains the people and community are so vivid.

A young girl, living a good life in New England, hears about a need in the mountains. She goes there to help the people and falls in love with the area and the people. This is her story, and it is basically a true one.
