Description
Elizabeth Wetherell, the pen name of Susan Warner, tells this girl's life story in her own voice, first published in 1868. Daisy looks back past bright childhood years to the summer she turned ten and became a Christian, a change she calls the golden thread running through all her later life.
Soon after, her father is thrown from his horse and hurt, and Daisy is sent to Magnolia to live with her aunt Gary under a governess. Chapters follow her through school, housekeeping, French dresses, grey coats, and wartime chapters, as she learns obedience, work, and trust. The book reads as a plain, warm memoir of growing up, with faith shaping how its heroine meets each new trial.
