Compiled by her son from her letters and journals, this life follows Harriet Beecher from a Connecticut parsonage and her sister’s Hartford school to Cincinnati, marriage to Calvin Stowe, poverty and illness, and the move to Brunswick, Maine. There she writes Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and fame carries her to Britain and Europe.
Largely in Stowe’s own words, an intimate portrait of the woman behind the most consequential American novel. Download the free EPUB.
