It is a good point that you bring up because it seems Louisa added to the book once the readers asked to share what happens to Polly when she grows up... Thence, there was an addition to the original story... Hope this helps! And have a lovely week!

That is sad to hear... I have had similar experiences with other blogs also... but I suppose we can't be too surprised. This is the way of the world right now and bloggers do represent it as well... The beautiful thing we have on our side is we can choose the "company" we keep. I hope your weekend is a lovely one and I am so glad to hear that you read these to your daughter! It makes me happy to know there are women walking around with these pleasant ideas in their hearts! :)JEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300505126646960374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-42001865228876565992017-02-22T23:55:52.373-06:002017-02-22T23:55:52.373-06:00Hello JES, such a wonderful book!

I just need to tell you that I love your wholesome blog so much! You inspire and challenge me. I just had the most revolting experience with a blog I've read a bit--a quilt designer's blog. This weekend she sent out a block called "Pussy Cat" which was kinda cute and I thought of my granddaughter...until I read the text. Disgustingly, she was making a point about how she supported Planned Parenthood and was going to "tell it like it is." All the $ she earned from selling the design would be to support PP and all the good work they do. I have been a counselor at a Pro-life pregnancy center for many years & I just couldn't let it go and so commented about the destruction of life at PP. All the other comments were very supportive and praising the "good work" that PP does... one even saying: "Abortion isn't the ONLY thing they do! They serve women in so many ways. . . " Such willful ignorance in supporting evil. Well, sorry for my rant... Just want to say again how lovely your site is. You enlighten and support all of us who want to be that Proverbs 31 wife.Lorraine Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07592739730442748917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-50155551635055649722017-02-22T15:32:07.759-06:002017-02-22T15:32:07.759-06:00Great!
