Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This series (28 books in all) was written by Martha Finley and published from 1867-1905. Targeted specifically at young girls, these Slice of Life books aimed to teach them how to be more Christlike by way of the adventures of the title character, a young girl born into a secular family who takes up Christianity. The first eight novels chronicle her maturation from a little girl to a widowed grandmother; further adventures of her and her descendants make up the remainder of the series. Wildly popular in its time, only Louisa May Alcott's work outsold these novels in the field of children's literature, and the series remains popular among Christian audiences today, if obscure to the general public.Due to negative audience perceptions of the novels by modern audiences, at the Turn of the Millennium Mission City Press published an adaptation of the series, A Life of Faith — Elsie Dinsmore, that toned down the racism and parental abuse featured in the original texts. This ran for eight books and was succeeded by two additional eight-book series under the Life of Faith banner: Violet Travilla, which focused on one of Elsie's daughters featured in the later novels, and Millie Keith, an updated adaptation of another Finley-penned series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Elsie Dinsmore / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Horace Jr is one, considering the things he does to Elsie in the name of love, from cutting her off from people who genuinely love her, such as friends and the one slave who cares for her, to being quick to punish her for things such as crying (for justifiable reasons) and not obeying his unreasonable, often idiotic commands. | |
