About this audiobook
"Hold fast to your dreams, Abbie. They will give you strength when the world is hard."
Published in 1928, Beth Streeter Aldrich's
A Lantern in Her Hand tells the story of Abbie and Will Deal—pioneers who left everything behind for a new life on America's frontier.
Abbie grows up dreaming of becoming a fine lady like her grandmother, of a life filled with music, beauty, and art. But when she marries the steadfast Will Deal and follows him west to the vast Nebraska prairie, she discovers that her path will be shaped not by grand adventures, but by endurance, sacrifice, and the fierce love she pours into her family.
Through droughts, hardships, and the relentless demands of pioneer life, Abbie holds fast to the inner light of her aspirations. Though many of her own hopes must be set aside, she passes her courage, imagination, and resilience to the next generation, becoming the quiet foundation upon which their futures are built.
Born in Iowa and later settling in Nebraska,
Beth Streeter Aldrich (1881—1954) was an American author who drew heavily on the stories of early settlers and her own family's experiences on the prairie. Aldrich published more than 200 short stories and several beloved novels, and is celebrated for her gentle realism and her tribute to the quiet heroism of everyday women.
A Lantern in Her Hand remains her most enduring work.
