Helpful Score: 1

I couldn't put this book down!! I've read it several times, and each time, I get something new out of it. Everyone I've recommended it to has loved it too. In fact when I loan it out, I never get it back, they always ask to keep it. That is why I ordered two copies this time.

This is the story of a young woman just turning 16 in 1831 and follows her into adulthood, through courting, marriage, having a family. It chronicles her Christian life, and how she wishes to only please God in all she does.

From the back cover: "How dreadflly old I am getting" writes Katherine in her brand-new journal on January 15, 1831. Her heartfelt words mark the start of your own unforgettable journey following Katherine as her life unfolds from sweet sixteen to her grown-up later years. As she learns that true happiness is found in giving oneself to others, you, too, will be immeasurably encouraged to step heavenward - to live with greater godliness, humility, tranquillity and hope"

I highly recommend this book.
