Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "So you're the little woman who started this big war," Abraham Lincoln is said to have quipped when he met Harriet Beecher Stowe. Her 1852 novel Uncle Tom s Cabin converted readers by the thousands to the anti-slavery movement and served notice that the days of slavery were numbered. Overnight Stowe became a celebrity, but to defenders of slavery she was the devil in petticoats. Most writing about Stowe treats her as a literary figure and social reformer while downplaying her Christian faith. But Nancy Koester's biography highlights Stowe s faith as central to her life -- both her public fight against slavery and her own personal struggle through deep grief to find a gracious God. Having meticulously researched Stowe s own writings, both published and un-published, Koester traces Stowe's faith pilgrimage from evangelical Calvinism through spiritualism to Anglican spirituality in a flowing, compelling narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harriet Beecher Stowe opposed slavery with a passion, but she was ahousewife with six children. What could she do? "You can write," her sister-in-law said.So she did. In 1852 her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin was published, and Harrietbecame an instant celebrity. This shouldn't have been surprising. Harriet was a Beecher,and all the Beechers made names for themselves. Her father, Lyman Beecher, was the most renowned preacher in America, but hedidn't expect much from his girls. He was collecting boys because he wanted a lot ofpreachers in the family. He ended up with seven preachers in the family, but in her ownway Harriet was the best of the lot. She became famous not just at home but all overEurope as well. When she traveled to England, crowds gathered in the streets just to seeher, and thousands attended her public meetings. President Lincoln called her "the littlelady who made this big war." What was she like, this nineteenth-century daughter, wife, and mother who said,"Writing is my element" and "I have determined not to be a mere domestic slave"?Award-winning biographer Jean Fritz brings this remarkable woman and her extraordinaryfamily to life.
