Ishmael and Self Raised (2 vol)
These 2 books are a set and should be read by anyone that appreciates stories that are inspiring and challenging. Having been born into gross poverty and overshadowed by circumstances that would seem to thwart everything Ismael attempts to accomplish (motherless early on and growing up without knowing his father) , he flourishes despite it all. It's a story of lost love and determination, of love regained and commitment to character and integrity. E.D.E.N. Southworth captures the rich panorama of sights and sounds in rural Maryland in the decades prior to the Civil War. The drama continues in the sequel, Self Raised, where the plot gets twisted and really interesting. Such books offer a boost of encouragement and a taste of upstanding moral character from long ago, yet exactly what is missing in the world today! Highly recommended for ages 13+ and for home schooled children seeking classic books.
