Life Of Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet''s personal letters--especially those to her close friends--are well-written and detailed, and are full of her personality and sense of humor. I particularly enjoyed some of her descriptions of the hectic daily life of being a young mother in Cincinnati with toddler twins and an infant. The book includes many incidents in Harriet''s life that are later echoed in her well-known book Uncle Tom''s Cabin, which makes this volume an excellent book to read for primary source background material. I''m grateful that Harriet and her son Charles took time at the end of her life to gather these letters to share with later generations.(Goodreads)
