Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Karlene Hoy, or in Need of a Guide and Guard
Great part of it was written under circumstances of the most crushing sorrow. The Reaper invaded our low, thatched cot and left my beloved father's chair vacant, our cottage desolate, bereft of its guiding spirit. The orphan's robes are mine. This sudden blow came upon me when I had only written about half of my book, but for many long weeks I did nothing but try to comfort my poor little mother.
