Mary Burns: Or Besetting Sins is a novel written by Sarah Schoonmaker Baker in 1861. The story revolves around the eponymous character, Mary Burns, who is a young woman struggling to overcome her besetting sins and find redemption. Mary's sins include pride, vanity, and a tendency to judge others harshly, which have caused her to become isolated from her community and estranged from her family. As the novel progresses, Mary meets a young man named Arthur, who becomes her confidant and helps her to confront her flaws. Together, they navigate the challenges of life in mid-19th century America, including social inequality, religious hypocrisy, and the pressures of conformity. Throughout the novel, Baker explores themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the power of love to transform individuals and communities. The book also offers a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the time, including the role of women in society and the influence of religion on daily life. Overall, Mary Burns: Or Besetting Sins is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers insights into the struggles and triumphs of individuals seeking to overcome their flaws and find meaning in their lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
