Spun from Fact

As the title suggests, this story is from real events. As the author explains in the last chapter, all of the events are true; the conversations and other minor elements have been fleshed out by the author. Jeannie Barrett comes to faith as a girl. That faith is to be tested for more than 20 years, as her health takes a sudden downturn. Added to that, her father, the breadwinner of the family, has a financial setback. It seems to be a case of a 19th-Century female Job! This is an account of her sufferings, but also of her support and provision in Christ. Jennie Smith's own account is told inThe Valley of Baca [https://librivox.org/the-valley-of-baca-a-record-of-suffering-and-triumph-by-jennie-smith/].- Summary by TriciaG
