Synopsis

Aunt Chloe said, 'Oh, Miss Rose, it's true he nearly killed that child with his hardness, all the time thinking he was doing right. But Jesus saved them both. He lives in Mr. Horace's heart now.' 'I'm glad, for Elsie's sake,' Rose said. 'I hope their trials are over now.' 'Yes, ma'am,' replied Chloe. 'But you know how troubles are. They tend to come uninvited and unexpected.' In the third of the Elsie Dinsmore: A Life of Faith books, Elsie and her father are together at last and many exciting changes lie ahead. Elsie is growing up, and there are new worlds to explore beyond her Southern home. Old friends will be reunited, and new friends will enter her life. But not everyone has Elsie's best interests at heart. When unexpected proposals are offered, can Elsie make the right decisions? Is she ready to share her love? Elsie's New Life continues the captivating stories of the beautiful heiress and the power of her unshakable Christian faith. Based on and adapted from the original novels written by Martha Finley between 1868 and 1905, Elsie's New Life follows its charming heroine from age eleven to sixteen. Readers will again be enthralled and inspired as each new adventure brings difficult choices for Elsie Dinsmore, the little girl of big faith.

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.
