The Story of Laulii, a Daughter of Samoa is a book written by William H. Barnes that tells the story of a young Samoan girl named Laulii. The book also includes a sketch of the life of Alexander A. Willis, who was a missionary in Samoa during the late 1800s.The story of Laulii begins with her childhood in Samoa, where she grows up in a traditional Samoan village. She is a curious and intelligent girl who is eager to learn about the world around her. As she grows up, she becomes interested in Christianity and begins to attend church with her family.The book follows Laulii as she navigates the challenges of growing up in a changing world. She faces pressure from her family and community to conform to traditional Samoan gender roles, but she also wants to pursue her education and explore her own interests.The sketch of Alexander A. Willis provides context for Laulii's story by exploring the history of Christian missionary work in Samoa. Willis was a key figure in this movement, and his experiences provide insight into the cultural and political forces that shaped Samoa during this time.Overall, The Story of Laulii, a Daughter of Samoa is a compelling portrait of a young woman's journey of self-discovery in a rapidly changing world. It offers a glimpse into the complex cultural and historical forces that shaped Samoa during the late 1800s, and it celebrates the resilience and strength of the Samoan people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
