Описание:
Elizabeth Payson Prentiss, n e Elizabeth Payson, (born October 26, 1818, Portland, Maine, U.S.--died August 13, 1878, Dorset, Vermont), American writer of popular children's books of a pious and homely character.
Elizabeth Payson was the daughter of a well-known minister and revivalist. At age 19 she opened a short-lived school, but ill health made it difficult for her to establish herself. In 1845 she married the Reverend George L. Prentiss.
From an early age Elizabeth Prentiss had been interested in writing, and as early as 1834 she had published a piece in Youth's Companion. In the early 1850s she took up writing seriously, contributing stories and articles to Youth's Companion, the New York Observer, and other periodicals. A children's book, Little Susy's Six Birthdays (1853), was a considerable success, and Prentiss continued the title character in Little Susy's Six Teachers (1856) and Little Susy's Little Servants (1856). The Flower of the Family (1853) was Prentiss's first novel, and Only a Dandelion, and Other Stories (1854) collected some of her earlier work. Her subsequent books include Henry and Bessie; or, What They Did in the Country (1855); The Little Preacher (1867); Stepping Heavenward (1869), her greatest success; The Story Lizzie Told (1870); Golden Hours (1874), religious verses and hymns; The Home at Greylock (1876); Gentleman Jim (1878); and the posthumous Avis Benson (1879). The evangelical piety of her books, many of which were thinly veiled autobiography, and their familiar reliance on scenes of everyday life found a ready audience. (britannica.com)
Stepping Heavenward is the journal of a girl named Katherine Mortimer. She struggles with very ordinary things like you and me. Katy meets a young man who she loves & wants to marry but her mother is very much against their plans. Then Katy gets sick and she finds out just how much her fiancee really loved her Then, there is pain and heartache over the broken engagement; sorrow that she had not listened to her mother. But Katy's life goes on through her marriage to a Godly man & motherhood and many tragedies. Her life is a constant struggle to "step heavenward," and poor Katherine, like so many of us, takes 1 step forward - 2 steps backward. - Excellent "
