Synopsis

Elsie couldn't stop her tears, and she clung to her father as she sobbed. 'Oh, Papa. Can it be true that I don't love Jesus as much as I used to?' 'Is that all, dear? I think you are being a bit silly.' After she had gone, Horace thought about the strange incident. 'I wonder if I will ever understand her. How often I seem to hurt her when I mean only to please.' In this sequel to Elsie's Endless Wait, readers will travel once more to the pre-Civil War world of Elsie Dinsmore, the young heiress deprived of a parent's love until she was almost nine years old. 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? Elsie's Impossible Choice is the second book in the Elsie Dinsmore: A Life of Faith series. These intriguing stories of a young girl's faith, purity of heart, and simple Christian devotion became an American classic over a hundred years ago. Based on and adapted from the original 1869 novels by Martha Finley, Elsie's Impossible Choice continues the exciting and inspiring story that has captivated generations of readers.

About this title

From the Publisher

For girls ages 10-14 ? About 100 years ago, a bright-eyed little girl named Elsie Dinsmore stole the hearts of parents and children around the world. In 28 novels published between 1868 and 1904, Elsie exemplified true biblical faith in the face of adversity--inspiring generations of girls and young women. Now Elsie's story comes to life again in a completely updated series adapted from the original novels. While faithful to Martha Finley's stories and characters, these adaptations also meet the needs and interests of contemporary young readers. We first meet Elsie when she is eight years old and living on her grandfather's plantation in the South. In succeeding novels, she grows up, finds love, marries and has her own children, and eventually becomes a grandmother. Throughout her life, Elsie faces each new challenge--from personal temptations to the tragedies of war and the loss of loved ones--with strength, courage, and trust in the love and guidance of her Heavenly Father. Zondervan is pleased to offer the first four volumes of this timeless series. Although set in a distant time and place, they are as lively, engaging, and relevant as the best of modern Christian juvenile fiction. The Elsie Dinsmore series promises to provide inspiration and encouragement to a new generation of girls.
