On a scale of 1 to 5, this is a 10. This should be required reading for every teenage girl, wife and mother! It is the story of a teenage girl who lives a difficult life, is able to escape it for a better life, finds Jesus, matures in her walk, and then must make the choice to go back to the difficult life to fill needs or continue in the enjoyable life. The great beauty of this book is the deep spiritual teaching of living above one's circumstances—and not just living above, but living victoriously. The book teaches how to have the joy of the Lord instead of a complaining and depressing attitude, rejoicing in Him above circumstances, and finding the great jewel of contentment. Housework becomes an altar; serving becomes grateful obedience to the Lord. This little story showed me what Jesus would like me to be. It made me cry over my sins and renew in my heart a purpose to become a princess in calico for my King.

Review by: Amy in Columbus, OH 
"It is the tried lives that ring the truest." Katura learns many lessons like this from a suffering woman named Tryphosa. "Blessed be drudgery, for it is the gray angel of success." Katura learns that she can serve God through daily housework. I enjoyed the spiritual lessons in this book. There is one part of the story that I did not like that has to do with a letter. Also, I would have ended the book differently. A good book for any teenage girl or homemaker.
