Goodreads / Book Recommendations?

      Hello everyone, Evangeline here! So, I ordered  hardcopy of A Greater Purpose, and I just love how it turned out! I love the quality of it, and the cover turned out really clear. I took it to the school room and showed all the girls. They are pretty thrilled to be in a book and can't wait for me to read it to them. Lina helped me snap some pictures, so I'll share them here!





     Also, I just added it to Goodreads, so if any of you have read it, would you mind leaving a quick an honest review? Here is the link to that! : ) Goodreads

     Also, I've been finagling with Pinterest some, but being from 1910, I'm still trying to get the hang of it. 😂

     Lastly, do any of you have any book recommendations? Any books that stood out to you? Have any of you published a book recently or have a friend who did? All recommendations welcome in the comment section!

Silverton Home for Girls Poem


Hello! Here is a poem I wrote shortly after we moved into the "Silverton Home for Girls." I hope you enjoy!

Silverton Home for 
Girls 
This home is very different
Than most other homes, you see.
It takes a lot of people
To make our big family.

There’s Hilda in the kitchen,
She cleans and cooks real well;
And Charity’s in the school room,
Her teaching’s really swell.

Lina is an artist,
She loves to paint and draw.
She spends many hours painting,
And her sketches fill the walls.

They’ve deemed me the head seamstress,
And the task they’ve given me
Is to mend and darn and patch the holes
And sew up dresses plenty.

Sean McGrady works real hard
At making chairs and toys;
He sells them at the market
To little girls and boys.

Annie McGrady spends her days
Tending the youngest girls.
She rocks them, bathes them,
Soothes their cries, and combs their little curls.

The girls’ days are kept full,
But they’re learning oh, so much.
Like reading, drawing, sewing,
And gardening, and such.

When God first sent me here,
Across the wide, blue sea,
His purposes were greater 
Than I ever could foresee.
