Introduction There are poems that seek And some that keep; Troubles that we find. But some are fun, They bring the sun And help to heal the mind. For things that are spoken Find hearts that are broken, Needing words to heal; But joy can be found If we let words surround, Thoughts we can't conceal. So it's time to look, Turn the pages of this book And find where reason leads; For words can say All that brightens the day, To give the mind what it needs.
This group biography follows three generations of ministers' daughters and wives in a famed American Unitarian family. Cynthia Tucker examines the Eliots, their religious tradition, and the Eliot women's largely neglected female vocation. Spanning 150 years from the early 19th century forward, the narrative is shaped into a series of stories. Each of six chapters takes up a different woman's experience, from the deaths of numerous children and the anguish of infertility to the suffocation of small parish life with its chronic loneliness, doubt, and resentment.
