Synopsis

Ruth Medway, a Christian mother, brooded over her eight children who had left home. Ishmael, her beloved ninth child, took the schoolmistress’ daughter to a cave and roasted some wild eggs. The unusual consequences of this event shaped his life greatly. “Where can we find a home again, mother?” he asked at last; “there’s no place like home.” “Up there!” she said, lifting her dim eyes to the great sky above them; “if God gives us no other home here in this world, He’s got one ready there for thee and me.” "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; I go to prepare a place for you."—John 14:1, 2.

About this title

About the Author:

HESBA STRETTON (1832–1911) was born in Wellington, England. She had the good fortune of being able to read books from her father’s bookshop, a printer of evangelical literature. Her mother was a strong evangelical, but died when Sarah was young. When Sarah Smith began writing, Hesba Stretton was her pen name, Stretton coming from the name of a neighboring village, and Hesba coming from the initials of her siblings. She wrote Jessica’s First Prayer in 1867, which became one of her most beloved stories. It sold very well and was translated into many languages. Other best sellers were Little Meg’s Children and Alone in London. She was familiar with the troubles of street children whom she visited and helped. She wrote over 60 books and stories which highlight Biblical principles.
