As the saga of Elsie Dinsmore continues, Elsie is now twenty-one. Love and marriage are very much on her mind as she struggles with disillusionment from the past and the doubts that still trouble her heart. Old friends may hold the answers, but will she recognize true love when it is offered?

True Love

Vi was deeply frightened. Sinking down at the base of the old tree, she began to cry. "Where am I? Oh, please help me, Jesus!" She continued to sob and pray, and somewhere in her mind, she remembered what her dear Mamma once told her: "If you are ever lost, stay where you are, and Mamma and Papa will find you. Call out to guide out steps." Huddled on the ground, she cried out, "Help me, Papa! Help me, Mamma! Please find me!" Returning to the South after the end of the Civil War, Elsie and her family look forward to the new peace. But Elsie, her husband, and their five young children discover that their beloved homeland bears terrible wounds. The war has left anger and bitterness in its wake. Old resentments are revived. Secret forces gather, and violence is a constant threat. No one is safe from men who attack their innocent victims under the cover of darkness. When Elsie and her loved ones became the targets of hate-filled words and actions, will their faith be strong enough to protect them from harm? In Elsie's Tender Mercies--the seventh book in the Elsie Dinsmore: A Life of Faith series--the Travillas and Dinsmores find their Christian faith and love challenged as never before. Their trust will be betrayed, and they will be asked to open forgiving hearts to friend and foe alike. Adapted from the 19th century novels of Martha Finley, Elsie's Tender Mercies is certain to thrill readers with its story of one brave family facing the battle of their lives.

The Elsie Dinsmore Novels, Martha Finley, in our opinion is the author of the best Series of novels that we have seen in our forty-three years of reviewing. Written by Martha Finley, an unmarried teacher of the last century, these novels proved to be a means of conveying her deep love for Christ Jesus. She loved her Lord, she loved His Word, and this love was passed on to His sheep through the writing of by far the best and most Biblical novels you will ever read or see. Altogether there are 28 of these novels, all built around Elsie Dinsmore, her immediate family, her extended family, and her neighbors.
