Just an interesting bit of info about Louisa May Alcott...Did you know that in 1857, she walked to the Mill Dam in Boston's Back Bay, intending to commit suicide by drowning herself? She was distraught over her life of poverty, but she talked herself out of ending it all and returned home. Ten years later her life changed with the publication of Little Women. I've been reading her biography online. I never knew about that event before. Just thought it was interesting.Pammy Jo
Yes I have heard of the author Jonathan Edwards but have never read him! What books of his do yβall recommend? Congratulations to Meg on answering the trivia question about him correctly!

I had no idea either. Imagine never having any of her books to read. Too tragic to think about. Thankfully, she changed her mind!
