Description
Miss Rose asked Elsie, "Your father is away, isn't he?" Elsie looked up and replied wistfully, "Yes, ma'am. He's in Europe. He has been away since before I was born, and I've never seen him. Oh, I do wish he'd come home! I want to see him so much! Do you think he would love me?" Meet Elsie Dinsmore, a lovely eight-year-old heiress who lives on a Southern cotton plantation in the mid-1800s. Her mother is dead and she has never known her father. Living in her grandfather's home, she often finds herself feeling rejected, unloved and misunderstood. Elsie is sustained by her deep Christian faith and her hope to one day be loved by her father. But will Horace Dinsmore ever come home? Will he love her? Elsie's Endless Wait is the first book in the Elsie Dinsmore: A Life of Faith series. This captivating story of a young girl's faith, purity of heart and simple Christian devotion became an instant American classic over a hundred years ago. Based on and adapted from the original text of the 1868 book by Martha Finley, Elsie's Endless Wait introduces a whole new generation to one of the most beloved fictional heroines of all time. - Back cover.
