Book Description
Elsie is a city girl. She loves the noise of the cobbled streets of Boston. But when her mother dies and her father moves them to the faraway prairies of Nebraska, Elsie hears only the silence, and she feels alone in the wide sea of grass. Her only comfort is her canary, Timmy Tune. But when Timmy flies out the window, Elsie is forced to run after him, into the tall grass of the prairie, where she's finally able to hear the voice of the prairie-beautiful and noisy- and she begins to feel at home. Jane Yolen and David Small create a remarkable, poetic, vividly rendered book about finding one's place in the world.

Book Description
Amid crashing thunder, roaring winds, pounding rain, and the creaking of the steamer as it struggled forward in the rolling sea, the passengers could hear the occasional shouted order from the officers. The steamer was tossed from side to side. 'Are we in danger of striking the rocks, Papa?' Elsie asked her father. 'I think not, ' he replied. At that instant, a terrible cracking sound assaulted their ears. The whole boat shuddered, and a man's panicked voice rose high above the screams and cries---'We've struck ground! We'll all be drowned!' As the storms of life continue to break around Elsie Dinsmore Travilla and her family, there are terrible tragedies to endure and times of joy as well. The Travilla children are growing up and facing life-altering decisions. Others in the Dinsmore family must confront dramatic upheavals in their lives. As the United States approaches the celebration of its first century as a nation, will Elsie and her family have their own causes to celebrate? How will adversity affect Elsie's world and the hopes of those she loves so dearly? Elsie's Great Hope again takes readers into the exciting story of a family grounded in Christian love and faith. Adapted from the influential nineteenth century novels by Miss Martha Finley, this eighth book in the series offers modern readers a wealth of hope and wisdom that is as meaningful today as it was over a hundred years ago. Elsie's Great Hope is packed with new adventures and fascinating characters that promise to intrigue and inspire readers of every age.

Book Description
The Elsie Dinsmore Novels, Martha Finley, in our opinion is the author of the best Series of novels that we have seen in our forty-three years of reviewing. Written by Martha Finley, an unmarried teacher of the last century, these novels proved to be a means of conveying her deep love for Christ Jesus. She loved her Lord, she loved His Word, and this love was passed on to His sheep through the writing of by far the best and most Biblical novels you will ever read or see. Altogether there are 28 of these novels, all built around Elsie Dinsmore, her immediate family, her extended family, and her neighbors.

Book Description
Martha Finley's 'Elsie's Widowhood' is a poignant continuation of the beloved 'Elsie Dinsmore' series, focusing on the trials and tribulations faced by the titular character after the death of her beloved husband. The narrative beautifully combines elements of Victorian sentimentalism with moral lessons, making it a classic example of 19th-century children's literature. Through Elsie's experiences as a widow, the book explores themes of grief, resilience, and the importance of family bonds. Finley's descriptive prose and engaging storytelling style captivate readers, drawing them into Elsie's emotional journey. Martha Finley, a devout Christian and schoolteacher, drew inspiration from her own religious beliefs and upbringing when writing the 'Elsie Dinsmore' series, imparting moral lessons and values to her readers. Her deep empathy and understanding of human nature are evident in her characterizations and plot development, adding depth and complexity to the narrative. Finley's personal experiences and religious convictions shine through in 'Elsie's Widowhood,' enriching the reader's understanding of the characters and their motivations. I highly recommend 'Elsie's Widowhood' to readers seeking a touching and morally uplifting story that delves into the complexities of grief and resilience. Martha Finley's masterful storytelling and meaningful themes make this book a timeless addition to any library, appealing to both children and adults alike.
