The Lifting Of A Finger is a novel written by Ina Brevoort Roberts and first published in 1901. The story revolves around the lives of two sisters, Hilda and Edith, who are orphaned and left to fend for themselves. Hilda is the elder sister and takes on the responsibility of caring for Edith, who is blind. The two sisters struggle to make ends meet and face many challenges along the way.As the story progresses, Hilda meets a wealthy man named John who takes an interest in her. He offers to help her and Edith, but Hilda is hesitant to accept his help. She is determined to make a life for herself and her sister without relying on anyone else. However, as John continues to show his kindness and generosity, Hilda begins to develop feelings for him.Meanwhile, Edith's blindness becomes a source of tension between the sisters. Hilda is overprotective of her sister and refuses to let her do anything on her own. This causes Edith to feel trapped and frustrated. Eventually, Hilda realizes that she needs to let go and allow Edith to be more independent.The Lifting Of A Finger is a heartwarming story about love, family, and the power of determination. It explores the themes of self-reliance, sacrifice, and the importance of letting go. Through the characters of Hilda and Edith, the novel shows the strength of the human spirit and the resilience of the human heart.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
