Customer Review #1:
 Love and Faith Keep You Going
This is a wonderful book of a womans life and times in the 1800s. The story begins with an old woman telling of her life when she was a little girl up until her husband was thrown from a horse and killed. She tells of a gift her mother gave her, a string of pearls from Ireland, that her husband sold and then bought back many years later. She tells of love and faith and how a family continues to get along even in troubled times.My brother and I both read this book in high school. He did a book report on it. It is really excellent reading, and should be read by anyone who enjoys historical novels. This book was based on a true-life story.

A Lantern inHer Hand
This is a terrific story of prairie life.This is my Grandma crockers favorite book. She said she first read it in her schools library. She is 84 and still loves to read.My Grandmother tried to get me to read this book years ago,but I didnt think I would like it. I finally said I would and I think its one of the best I have ever read. I actually cried real tears at the end when old Abby Deal dies. I reccommend this to anyone who like to read. Since reading this ,I have gotten all of Bess Streeter Aldrichs books. My grandmother read them first and now I am reading them.

 Well-worn story about a womans life..
Bess Aldrichs "Lantern in Her Hand" is about 75 years old now. It tells the story of one woman named Abby Deal, and her life from a young girl to an elderly grandmother. It seems stuck in its time, as Abby acts like an "old fashioned" woman, but I suppose I cant expect differently. The story moves slowly, and it tells of how Nebraska became settled. Typical grandmother-granddaughter subplot where they leave in two different worlds, and typical subplot about another granddaughter who is just like Abby.
