Contents:
This old house -- Your daughter, sir! -- On the waves -- We mean to turn over the west -- Nobody knows who -- A deep, immortal longing -- If I live -- Uncle Tom's cabin: the story of the age -- I grant I am a woman -- Harriet takes London -- A reformer's pilgrimage -- By thy wrath are we troubled -- The minister's wooing -- The galling harness of war -- A real and living power -- The queen bee of that hive -- Moonshiny mazes -- Resolved into love.
Summary: "Most writing about Stowe treats her as a literary figure and social reformer while downplaying her Christian faith. But Nancy Koester's biography highlights Stowe's faith as central to her life -- both her public fight against slavery and her own personal struggle through deep grief to find a gracious God. Having meticulously researched Stowe's own writings, both published and un-published, Koester traces Stowe's faith pilgrimage from evangelical Calvinism through spiritualism to Anglican spirituality in a flowing, compelling narrative." --from book description, Amazon.com.
