St. Elmo - Augusta Jane Evans

The third most popular novel of the 19th and early 20th centuries, St. Elmo captivated millions of readers and generations of schoolgirls but lost popularity as Americans strayed toward the 1960s. Nowadays readers keep telling us that once started, nothing else gets done until they reach the end. Hundreds of grateful readers wrote Miss Evans that the book led them to see their need for salvation. Few books are both sensational and Christian; Augusta Jane Evans succeeded on both counts. Ideal as gifts to daughters and mothers.
