Daughters of the faith series are like... my favorite books. They are all true. They're filled with character and captives, joy and girlhood of - Pocahontas, Mary Bunyan, Anita Dittman, and Mary Chilton.
We will start with Pocahontas. Pocahontas books I've read so many times that I didn't want to read it but I read it just the same and it was... so incredible, and inspiring. It will capture your heart. In the back of the book, there's an epilogue and some powhatan words: popanow - winter, cattapeuk - spring, cohattayough - summer, taquitock - autumn. So... is that fun or what?
Now on to Mary Bunyan... she's a poor blind girl in the 1600's who doesn't want anybody to help her. Her father is in jail, her mother just had a baby, they hardly have any money, her 7 year old brother Jake is playing with bad boys, and everything is just going wrong. Until... she and her friend find Jesus. They get her father out of jail, help her mother start again... and that is the end of the book. I'll do the 2 other books next post.
The author is Wendy Lawton. She farms 30 acres of almonds.
