Emmy Lou's Road to Grace: Being a Little Pilgrim's Progress

"Emmy Lou's Road to Grace: Being a Little Pilgrim's Progress" by George Madden Martin is a story about a little girl named Emmy Lou, adapting to her new life living with her uncle and aunts. Losing connection with her mother, Emmy Lou must face separation from her, learning how to fit in her new home and community, while remaining strong with her values, and keeping to the lessons learned from her mom and dad. Emmy Lou is four years old, and despite her young age, she is set on keeping the traditions and rules that were taught to her by her parents, her nightly prayer being the most important; but it's hard for her, she is very young, and often forgets the words. Her relationship with her new family grows, along with her relationships with children in her neighborhood, like Izzy, as she makes her way through her emotional journey, growing her understanding of faith, rules, and discovering more about morals and beliefs.
