Jessica's Mother by Hesba Stretton
In this sequel to Jessica's First Prayer, Jessica, Daniel and the minister were at the church when a tragedy occurred. Daniel went home and discovered Jessica's mother crouching on his doorsill. She looked like a heap of rags and defiantly demanded Jessica. Daniel grew spiritually closer to God as he sought to know how Jesus might respond. This edition includes the five illustrations from the initial publication of Jessica's Mother in Sunday at Home magazine in 1867.SARAH SMITH was born in Wellington, England, in 1832 and died in 1911.
