'And then your father lost his engagement at the theatre,
—I need not tell you why, Rosalie darling,—and we left the town. And then I began to know what poverty meant. We travelled from place to place, sometimes getting occasional jobs at small town theatres, sometimes stopping at a town for a few months, and then being dismissed, and travelling on for weeks without hearing of any employment.
'And then it was that your little brother was born. Such a pretty baby he was, and I named him Arthur after my father. I was very, very poor when he was born, and I could hardly get clothes for him to wear, but oh, Rosalie darling, I loved him very much!

A Peep Behind the Scenes is a historical fiction book I've owned for some time now. It is part of the Lamplighter Collector Series, which is a subscription company that focuses on old Christian literature.
What a heart-warming story of faith, redemption, and reconciliation. My children selected this story to read together this summer. It was a bit wordy for me, as I felt myself wanting to skip some details to get to the plot. Yet, I found myself wanting more of the passages of Rosalee and her mother.

How to use your faith in difficult situations and asking for Jesus's salvation. Looking forward to read
