After Daisy returns from the cottage for her hurt foot, she realizes that her mother has given away one of her most precious gifts, an Egyptian spoon given to her by a close friend. Daisy confronts her mother only to be told "Do not oblige me to remind you that your things are mine." Daisy knows that her mother has always favored her brother. She resolves to be free of her, but can she do so without ruining her soul as well? Susan Warner is the first author to sell one million copies of a single book, the title of which was Wide, Wide, World.

This is a sweet story of a young girl's desire to be a true Christian despite the lack of support from her immediate family. She struggles to obey her parents and yet also serve those around her who are in need. I read this one after the End of a Coil. I found the End of a Coil more interesting because of the travel throughout Europe, but there are several endearing characters in both stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first in a mini series

The author is new to me. I found the narrative difficult to follow to begin with, but persevered on recommendation from a friend. The main character a child of 10 becomes a Christian, a few years before the American Civil War. Her extremely wealthy parents, family and friends are appalled at her simple but profound faith. I must confess to being reduced to tears on more than one occasion reading how she fearlessly chooses to follow Christ. The tension between this and seeking to obey the commandment to ‘Honour her Parents’ is incredibly painful. The modern reader may find this all a bit unrealistic, but the decisions she makes are evidences of her new found faith. She suffers greatly at the hands of her parents and others around her, proving her faith ‘real’. I could’t wait to read the sequel, Daisy.

This was first given to me over blank years!, as a Sunday School prize. The way of life at Melbourne House (and Daisy's Mamma and Papa )completely mesmerized a small Scottish child!

The lives of the slaves and the description of the plantation life is so vividly depicted, and I did not realize that there was a sequel in "Daisy) by which time the book was unobtainable. Then came "Daisy in the Field".

Thank you Amazon for making these books available, with the underlying Christian theme in them.
