Yes. Lori Wick all the way. Janette...Oh my Lord. Yes. Lori Wick all the way. Janette Oak, too. And then someone who wrote about these young Scottish kids....can't remember the author's name. But I DEVOURED them. Thank Jesus I never really got into Grace Livingston Hill, though. I started to get disillusioned with these books, however, once I got into high school age. Lori Wick's writing is filled with mistake after mistake grammatically. I also found myself strongly identifying with the "rebellious" women. Specifically, I remember this one story about a missionary family from Hawaii. It was the third book in the series, maybe. The girl "had" to get married to save her reputation since she'd spent the night at the local doctor's house during a blizzard or after getting hurt or something. She was ultra-rebellious toward her husband to the point of CUTTING HER HAIR WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION. *gasp!* *shock!*<br /><br />I'm grateful, however, that in my school, conservative as it was, that we read all the great literary classics and that my English teachers always encouraged critical thinking and evaluative questioning. I think this is ultimately what saved my brain from complementarian BS.Madelyn Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10961645776718633904noreply@blogger.com
