The Annals of the Poor

"The Annals of the Poor" by Legh Richmond, is a touching story about the lives of people in poverty and their relationships with God. One main person we meet is Elizabeth, the Dairyman's daughter, and the book tells of the big changes in her life when she turns away from wanting worldly things and instead focuses on her religion. Right at the beginning, we see how important her faith is to her through a letter she writes to Reverend Richmond, where she shows how worried she is about her sister's soul and how much she wants to help others find God. Her father's thoughts also show how rich the poor are in spirit, even if they don't have money. This story seems to be about faith, how God helps us, and how we can be saved through hard times.
