This book is one of hope to all people who are dealing with adversity, as most of us do. The author's trust in God which she first learned at Northfield Seminary in Massachusetts helped her to meet the many adversities and changes during her life experiences. Meeting the challenges of raising a large family on a farm in Maine, and surviving a bad house fire strengthened her trust even more. She has learned that overcoming hardship through prayer and the study of the laws of God gave her the ability to strive for higher accomplishments.
