Shortly after Lester leaves for Europe, the family is devastated by Edward's sudden death. Elsie finds solace in the comfort of her father, Horace Dinsmore, and, more important, in the everlasting arms of her heavenly Father.

Book excerpt: Martha Finley's 'Elsie's Widowhood' is a poignant continuation of the beloved 'Elsie Dinsmore' series, focusing on the trials and tribulations faced by the titular character after the death of her beloved husband. The narrative beautifully combines elements of Victorian sentimentalism with moral lessons, making it a classic example of 19th-century children's literature. Through Elsie's experiences as a widow, the book explores themes of grief, resilience, and the importance of family bonds. Finley's descriptive prose and engaging storytelling style captivate readers, drawing them into Elsie's emotional journey. Martha Finley, a devout Christian and schoolteacher, drew inspiration from her own religious beliefs and upbringing when writing the 'Elsie Dinsmore' series, imparting moral lessons and values to her readers. Her deep empathy and understanding of human nature are evident in her characterizations and plot development, adding depth and complexity to the narrative. Finley's personal experiences and religious convictions shine through in 'Elsie's Widowhood,' enriching the reader's understanding of the characters and their motivations. I highly recommend 'Elsie's Widowhood' to readers seeking a touching and morally uplifting story that delves into the complexities of grief and resilience. Martha Finley's masterful storytelling and meaningful themes make this book a timeless addition to any library, appealing to both children and adults alike.

Book excerpt: "All love is sweet, Given or returned. Common as light is love, And its familiar voice wearies not ever." -Shelley. "Come in, Vi, darling," said Mrs. Travilla's sweet voice, "we will be glad to have you with us." Violet, finding the door of her mother's dressing-room ajar, had stepped in, then drawn hastily back, fearing to intrude upon what seemed a private interview between her and her namesake daughter; Elsie being seated on a cushion at her mamma's feet, her face half hidden on her lap, while mamma's soft white hand gently caressed her hair and cheek. "I feared my presence might not be quite desirable just now, mamma," Violet said gayly, coming forward as she spoke. "But what is the matter?" she asked in alarm, perceiving that tears were trembling in the soft brown eyes that were lifted to hers. "Dear mamma, are you ill? or is Elsie? is anything wrong with her?" "She shall answer for herself," the mother said with a sort of tremulous gayety of tone and manner. "Come, bonny lassie, lift your head and tell your sister of the calamity that has befallen you." There was a whispered word or two of reply, and Elsie rose hastily and glided from the room.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: Had she not a better than an earthly love to cheer, comfort, and sustain her on her way?-a love that would never fail, a Friend who would never leave nor forsake her; whose sympathy was perfect; who was always touched with the feeling of her infirmities, and into whose ear she could ever whisper her every sorrow, perplexity, anxiety, certain of help; for His love and power were infinite. ...Thank you, Isa, said Calhoun, following her from the room, for she had risen from the table with her last words; my mother does not seem to comprehend the difference between our circumstances and those of some of our relatives, and I am sure has no idea of the pain her words sometimes give to grandpa, Art, and myself. ...[37] Ah, there was in each young heart an unspoken fear that he would never rise from that couch of pain, for they had seemed to read his doom in the grave, anxious faces of grandfather and physicians; but oh it was too terrible a fear for either to put into words even to her own consciousness! ...My son, she said with an affectionate look into the earnest face of the pleader, I am glad to see your sympathy and love for your brother, but I think your grandpa loves him quite as well and knows far better what is for his good, and I cannot interfere between them; my children must all be as obedient and submissive to my father as they are to me. ...My dear child, Elsie said, in tones as tender and compassionate as she would have used to one of her own darlings, and laying her hand affectionately on the young girls shoulder, I do not like to see you so hard at work while every one else is out enjoying this delightful weather.
