Living Words

By Amy Patsch

Recently I read an excellent fiction book set in Savanna, Georgia, at the time of the Civil War. The book was written by a Christian author who mentioned in her author’s notes that one of her resources was “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” written by Harriet Beecher Stowe around 1851. Of course, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is a classic, but I had never read it, so I determined that was my next read.

Wow, was I impressed. The use of our beautiful English language became even more so under the author’s command of style and narrative.
