Free Ebook Without a Home, by Edward Payson Roe

Just ten years ago I took my first hesitating and dubious steps toward authorship. My reception on the part of the public has been so much kinder than I expected, and the audience that has listened to my stories with each successive autumn has been so steadfast and loyal, that I can scarcely be blamed for entertaining a warm and growing regard for these unseen, unknown friends. Toward indifferent strangers we maintain a natural reticence, but as acquaintance ripens into friendship there is a mutual impulse toward an exchange of confidences. In the many kind letters received I have gratefully recognized this impulse in my readers, and am tempted by their interest to be a little garrulous concerning my literary life, the causes which led to it, and the methods of my work. Those who are indifferent can easily skip these preliminary pages, and those who are learning to care a little for the personality of him who has come to them so often with the kindling of the autumn fires may find some satisfaction in learning why he comes, and the motive, the spirit with which, in a sense, he ventures to be present at their hearths.

I'm a reader, not a reviewer, but I had to write SOMETHING because this was one of the best older books I've read.Without a Home is the story of the trials and tragedies that follow a 19th century New York City family affected by the father's opium addiction. The frankness with which substance abuse is presented was surprising to me, given the era in which the book was written. Surprising also was the WAY it was presented. I didn't know that addiction was seen as a disease back then, and not just a moral weakness, as I had thought it was believed to be.The author was a Presbyterian minister so the book has a decidedly Christian flavor, surprisingly not so much in a preachy way, but because the faith of the heroine is an integral part of the story.This has been a really good read in so many ways, and (to me, at least) a shining example of America's rich literary heritage. I'll be mentally chewing on this story for a long time!

Great story with interesting historical info By Maggie Jarpey The historical info on the "shop girls" in 19th-century New York City was fascinating, and sad. So that was a plus to an excellent story with believable, interesting characters and a compelling plot. As always with the books I've read thus far by this author, the Christian message is less talked about than in most modern Christian fiction and yet is absolutely integral to the story and real enough to make me stop and think and talk to the Lord. The emotion of the Christian message in this story was strong and enjoyable to me. Some modern Christian novels I've read seem to have the Christianity just tacked on to a story that would have been the same without the Christianity. Roe's novels, and Susan Warner's, and George MacDonald's are all about Jesus Christ even when He is mentioned rather sparingly.
