BOOK NOTES A Book Review by Michelle Swope
The Courage of Sarah Noble
by Alice Dalgliesh
is story is about a young miss who braves the wilderness and lives the life of a pioneer woman—cooking, cleaning, the works— while traveling west. Minding the babies and little ones doesn’t come easily, but she tries, all the while experiencing faith and hope in her God that He’ll see her to the end of her journey, a new home in the bargain. "Cast every care on the Lord and lean not on your own understanding." is brilliant book shows what pioneers did and how close, and closer still, some came to believe that God would see them through!
Happy tales!
