Review # 1 was written on 2013-12-31 00:00:00 Brandon Scroggins Parts of it are dated (like the descriptions and opinions of non-British people so you have to allow that the author is a product of her time), though more of it is timeless. How do we, as adult women, raise our girls in the Faith? What is truly important, and what can be put aside? Some of the problems of her day, like a decline in manners, is still applicable today. The concept of "manners" being an aspect of religion and the Golden Rule, and not simply arbitrary codes of conduct to appear cultured or genteel, was not an idea I'd pondered before. That insight alone was worth it. Her opinion on the "small" lives, those unseen in the wide world, those not given recognition and adulation--well, I felt she was talking directly to me.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-12-27 00:00:00 Daniel Palmer A pleasant surprise The book was easy to listen to. I initially thought that it would not hold my attention. Surprisingly I reached the end of the book which has a large index. Dear Janet Erskine Stuart a simple note of gratitude. I hope many others avail themself of this fine book.
