By Elizabeth Prentiss
A headstrong man named Horace Wheeler is influenced by a widow in a beautiful story from this well-loved author, who wrote Stepping Heavenward (see below). Aunt Jane's Hero was first published in 1871. With vivid pictures of life and character, its object is to depict a home whose happiness flows from the living Rock, Christ Jesus. It protests also against the extravagance and other evils of the times, which tend to check the growth of such homes, and aims to show that there are still treasures of love and peace on earth, that may be bought without money and without price.
"A powerful piece of fiction, illustrating one young couple's learning the mystery of the cross." —Elisabeth Elliot
"I love this book! It is a marriage manual of the highest order...a must-read for every married woman and ought to be required reading for every bride-to-be." —Susan Hunt
"Aunt Jane's Hero is one of Elizabeth Prentiss' beloved books. I laughed I cried. I was delighted with the characters and the story; but most of all, I was enthralled with her practical use of biblical truth. This book is God-honoring and a rare gem. I whole-heartedly recommend it!" —Martha Peace
