Jessica's Mother Hesba Stretton

In this sequel to ?Jessica's First Prayer,? Jessica, Daniel and the minister were at the church when a tragedy occurred. Daniel went home and discovered Jessica?s mother crouching on his doorsill. She looked like a heap of rags and defiantly demanded Jessica. Daniel grew spiritually closer to God as he sought to know how Jesus might respond. This edition includes the five illustrations from the initial publication of Jessica?s Mother in ?Sunday at Home? magazine in 1867.
