Excerpt from book: mind, of course, for in her small circle young unmarried women accepted the major events of life without question, and certainly without conversation. She never, for instance, allowed her Uncle James, with whom she lived, to see her working at the afghan; and even her Aunt Harriet had supposed it to be a sweater until it assumed uncompromising proportions. Sara Lee’s days, up to the twentieth of December, 1914, had been much alike. In the mornings she straightened up her room, which she had copied from one in a woman’s magazine, with the result that it gave somehow the impression of a baby’s bassinet, being largely dotted Swiss and ribbon. Yet in a way it was a perfect setting for Sara Lee herself. It was fresh and virginal, and very, very neat and white. A resigned little room, like Sara Lee, resigned to being tucked away in a corner and to having no particular outlook. Peaceful, too. Sometimes in the morning between straightening her room and going to the market for Aunt Harriet, Sara Lee looked at a newspaper. So she knew there was a war. She read the headings, and when the matter came up for mention at the little afternoon bridge club, as it did now and then after the prizes were distributed, she always said ” Isn’t it horrible! ” and changed the subject. On the night of the nineteenth of December Sara Lee had read her chapter in the Bible — she read it through once each year — and had braided down her hair, which was as smooth and shining and lovely asSara Lee herself, and had raised her window for the night when Aunt Harriet came in. Sara Lee did not know, at first, that she had a visitor. She stood looking out toward the east, until Aunt Harriet touched her on the arm. “What in the world!” said Aunt Harriet. “A body would suppose it was August.” ” I was just …

"A daughter of the Earth" is a book I read, because my mother to my grandmother in this book came to me. I got way back up in my teens and I read it then. It was difficult and depressing … History of the Child 12, a daughter who was a slave in the house expect for his family, while other children a lot of comfort and wealth have earned their strict but with lots of family agricultural holdings. Yuk.
I did when I was about thirty years, and read it, I thought maybehad misjudged. No, it was yuk.
At a conference in 2006, the author of this book (Gene Stratton-Porter was) strong for other works that I recommend you read … and … to be loved. His books inspire my recommendations and comments addressed. Soo … I have "a daughter of the earth" one more chance. It was humbling to remember that the book is not at fault, it was me who did not yet sufficiently developed. Suffering is indeed still a problem, but if in spite of hope and humility and loveDisappointment. It was about the vision and the wisdom and consequences of these stupid, but it was not moralizing. "My daughter is" not like his other works. It is a humanity that is more pronounced, yet the nobility seems richer.
Kate Bates is another Gene Stratton-Porter unsung hero in the tradition of Elnora Comstock, of A Girl of the Limberlost, and Freckles and Laddie, of books of the same name. As the youngest child, and female, in a large prosperous farm family, she has been designated as her mother’s helper in old age. Kate finds this unfair since all of the brothers have been given land and the older sisters sent to teacher training. With the help of a nephew and sister-in-law, she defies her parents, becomes a teacher, leaves home. Her real ambition, however, is to own and cultivate a large farm. After rejecting the easy path to her dream, she suffers through a bad marriage but ultimately acquires her land and achieves happiness.

We read in the full version for children and this is an indespensible aid to understanding the descriptive history. The pictures are excellent and very precise descriptions. Historical notes put history in context from which it was written (wonder, either an electric motor that existing knowledge of marine life, predictions about the diving equipment). Children can meet in everything I read and the text is very close. I recommend as a reading aid.

I have this book interesting and wonder why I never read it before now. As an adult, I think Jules Verne, it is a fantastic author – well ahead of its time. This book made me curious to read any more of Verne.

It's just a remake-get to the library or the true support of an author's news …
