Meet Elsie Dinsmore, a lovely eight-year-old heiress who lives on a Southern cotton plantation in the mid-1800's. Her mother is dead and she has never known her father. Living in her grandfather's home, she often finds herself feeling rejected, unloved and misunderstood. Elsie is sustained by her deep Christian faith.
Elsie and her father seem to have reconciled, but can Horace Dinsmore ever accept his daughter's Christian faith? Or will his pride lead to tragic consequences? What is the terrible decision Elsie must make?
Based on and adapted from the original novels written by Martha Finley between 1868 and 1905, this modern-language edition will charm a whole new generation of readers. Recommended for ages 10 to 14.
