A Circuit Rider's Widow is a novel written by Corra Harris, first published in 1910. The story follows the life of Mary Hamilton, a young woman who marries a circuit-riding preacher named John Hamilton. They travel through rural Georgia, preaching and ministering to the local communities. However, John dies suddenly, leaving Mary to raise their two young children alone. The novel explores the challenges Mary faces as a widow in a time when women were not expected to be independent. She struggles to make ends meet, but eventually finds work as a teacher. Along the way, she meets a young man named David, who falls in love with her. Mary is torn between her love for David and her loyalty to her late husband. The book is a poignant portrayal of life in rural America at the turn of the 20th century. It deals with themes of grief, love, and the struggle for independence. The characters are well-drawn and the writing is lyrical and evocative. Overall, A Circuit Rider's Widow is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
