I didn't enjoy this quite as much as some of the other diaries by Ellen Emerson White that I've read recently, but this was still a truly lovely book. Not only is it touching and emotional, but it's also so informative of a time we often gloss over in history. I think perhaps the elongated timeline (this book covers 4+ years where many of the others are just a few months) affected my enjoyment the most, but I would highly recommend this.
