Synopsis
I Don't Know How by Elizabeth Stuart Ward. This early- American Protestant children's novel traces the spiritual awakening of Ellen Howe as she and her friends navigate childhood, temptation, and faith. Through a series of episodes—Snow-statues on a winter afternoon, the illness and funeral of Jenny Raymond, a tense revival at Miss Farley’s school, and a dramatic ice-skating night on the river—Ellen learns what it means to seek God. Margie Grey stands as a quiet model of faith; Tiny Howe provides comic mischief; and Cousin Deborah, the Quaker cousin, offers a stark lesson in patience, waiting, and trusting in God’s purposes. The book juxtaposes genuine conversion with the impulsive longing for religious excitement, urging readers to discern a faith that endures beyond social imitation. By its close, Ellen understands that repentance, trust in Christ, and concrete acts of love—rather than dramatic experiences—constitute the real life of a Christian. A humane, thoughtful exploration of growing up, conscience, and spiritual truth for young readers.
