Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of an Earnest Life: A Woman's Adventures in Australia, and in Two Voyages Around the World
For many years I resisted the earnest entreaties of many friends to write an autobiography. I did so for two reasons: First, my inability and inexperience as a writer; second, the pain which the effort would cost me. But, finally, the honored and lamented Dr. Robert Richardson, of West Virginia, who was long a co-laborer of the illustrious Alexander Campbell, and who knew me well, convinced-me that it was my duty to write. With many tears, I have sacrificed my feelings at the shrine of duty.
I claim for my narrative no literary merit, but I have tried to make it as accurate in statement as it is sincere in design. It has pained me to be compelled to place some, who were dear to me, in an unfavorable light; but the necessities of the case demanded it. I have written an unvarnished story of a life of many vicissitudes, hoping that my readers may derive strength from it under trials, temptations, pain, privation, persecution, and exposure. I send it forth to the world with the earnest prayer that the gracious God who, in all my outgoings, my incomings, and my shortcomings, has ever been my best Friend may make it a blessing to all who read it.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a captivating memoir of a woman's life filled with adventure and hardship. The authorââ â¢s childhood in Scotland is depicted as a time of both beauty and isolation, a stark contrast to her later years spent in the faraway lands of Australia. Her journey is a testament to resilience and the power of human spirit to overcome adversity. The author recounts her experience as a young girl caught in a perilous sea voyage, her harrowing time as a colonist in Australia, and ultimately, her return to Scotland where she reflects on the choices that shaped her life. The book delves into the themes of love, loss, and the search for belonging in a world often marked by uncertainty and change. It offers a unique glimpse into the realities of colonial life, the challenges of navigating social conventions, and the enduring power of faith in the face of tribulation. Through her story, the author reminds us that the most challenging journeys often lead to the greatest self-discovery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
