Synopsis

This 19th-century novel follows the struggles of Laura Romeyn, a young woman left to care for her siblings after her father's death and the family's financial ruin. Faced with societal expectations and personal hardships, Laura must navigate a world that offers little help to women in her situation. Through perseverance and faith, she seeks to overcome the challenges that threaten to overwhelm her and her family.

Edward Payson Roe (1838-1888) was an American novelist who served as a chaplain in the Civil War and wrote weekly letters the New York Evangelist, and subsequently lectured on the war and wrote for periodicals. In the 1870s, he began writing very popular novels. Their strong moral and religious purpose, and their being written by a clergyman, did much to break down a Puritan prejudice in America against works of fiction.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.
