All That Makes Life Bright: The Life and Love of Harriet Beecher Stowe, by Josi S. Kilpack

4.0

A look at the early years of a couple and the work marriage was and still is. The author tells the reader from the beginning that the book is based on the letters and writing of Harriet Beecher and Calvin Stowe, but still a work of fiction. Because of that note I found the narrative interesting, and did not over think. If you want only the facts of their history, this is not the book. If you want a book about the give and take of the first years of marriage and the near loss of self identity during the early years of having children, especially several children quickly, this book will deliver.
