Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the life story of Catherine King, a woman born into a wealthy family in America in the late 18th century. The author has stitched together a narrative using a collection of letters, diaries, and family bibles to tell her story. Catherine's father, Vincent, was a successful British merchant, and her mother, Sarah, was the daughter of a colonial governor. The family lived a comfortable life in New York City, but when Catherine was young, her mother died, and her father decided to return to England. Catherine was sent to live with her grandmother, who was an invalid, and she spent her childhood in the care of slaves. When she was nine years old, she was sent to England to live with her father. She was a bright and curious child, and she quickly adapted to her new life in Liverpool. She was educated by tutors and governesses, and she enjoyed spending time with her friends and family. Catherine's father was a kind and indulgent man, but he was also very strict. He expected a lot from his children, and he was not always pleased with their behavior. Catherine's brother, Lewis, was a disappointment to him. He was lazy and irresponsible, and he often got into trouble. Catherine, on the other hand, was a model child. She was kind, intelligent, and hardworking. She was also very beautiful, and she had many admirers. In 1807, Catherine met George King, a young clergyman. They fell in love and were married a year later. The couple had a happy marriage, and they had four children. Catherine was a devoted wife and mother, and she was also a generous and compassionate woman. She spent her life helping others, and she was loved and respected by all who knew her. Catherine King's life is a story of courage, resilience, and faith. She was a remarkable woman who lived a full and meaningful life. Her story is an inspiration to us all.
