Sarah Whitcher's Story

Summary

Author: Elizabeth Yates

Illustrator: Nora S. Unwin

Summary: Sarah Whitcher's Story is the tale, based on a true incident still talked about in the tiny town of Warren, New Hampshire in which it occurred, of a little girl who wanders away from her family's cabin while her parents are visiting neighbors and her siblings are distracted. People from far and wide join in a four day search for the girl. Just when all but her father have given up hope, a stranger appears, having had a dream that showed him the exact location of Sarah and the mother bear who had been treating the child as her cub. The father's strong trust in the Lord is a persistent theme throughout. E.P. Dutton & Co,, Inc. SBN 0-525-38800-1 1971 copyright 84pps.

Our Angle

I love this rich story of faith and family love. It's delightfully written, based on a true happening - what more could you ask for in a story to share with your little ones? If your God doesn't reveal imformation through dreams, you will not be comfortable with the story but for the rest of us, its a sweet, wholesome example of a father's trust in God and a heavenly Father's care. A Smith family favorite.

End Slavery

The best way to show your appreciation for this free service:

Free the slaves

For many years, our focus was on helping families train their own children. Our heart is still there, but this season of life has us focused on something old, yet new – slavery. More people are held as unwilling slaves today (27 million) than at any time in history, including over 200,000 in the U.S., mostly women and children.

If you appreciate the service BookAngles has provided over the years to you and others, then we invite you to show that appreciation with a donation to our work with International Teams.

to end slavery, because every slave is a family member. Thanks.
