The Chautauqua Girls at Home — Isabella Alden

Their lives had been transformed at Chautauqua, but old habits were waiting for them back home. . . . After an amazing month at Chautauqua, Ruth, Eureka, Flossy, and Marion enthusiastically return home to join the local church, serve God with their talents, and share the message of salvation with others. But as they encounter the distrust of their pastor, the apathy of friends, and the lure of past lifestyles, they discover they still have much to learn about following God in the real world.

Although these four young women have little in common, they share the same desire to be genuine in their faith. Carrying each other's burdens and finding strength in their growing friendship, they become models of accountability for their community and testimonies of a faith that is alive.

Heartwarming stories of faith and love by Grace Livingston Hill's aunt―Isabella Alden. Each book is similar in style and tone to Hill's and is set in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
