Summary: Life of Faith Series...NOT written by Martha Finley
Review: Before I rant and rave, I want to make it clear that I haven't read this book. This review is a warning to those out there who wish to read an adapted version of Martha Finley's works.

I am furious with Life of Faith because of their decision to create a series based on Violet Travilla. It was okay for them to expand from Elsie into Millie, because that's what Martha Finley did. I put my foot down, however, that they do THIS and create a series that Martha Finley never did. Violet Travilla was the daughter of Elsie Dinsmore and her character was very important in the Elsie Dinsmore books, as she was a very special woman and stepmother of Lulu Raymond-one of the few "bad" characters in Elsie's adult life.

Before you read this books that Martha Finley had nothing to do with, I suggest you read about the ORIGINAL creation of Violet in the original Elsie Dinsmore books. Except for racism reasons, I really don't see why Life of Faith was even created to begin with. The original books enhance children's reading and vocabulary skills, and also teach children what books were like in the 1800s and 1900s-when the stories were written and took place.

The only reason why these books have not been given a lower rating is because I haven't read the books and the writing could be well done.

Summary: Violet's Hidden Doubts
Review: I am an 12 year old girl and I loved this book. I read all of the Elsie Books, and loved them dearly. I read the Millie Books too, but not as well.
I don't cry much while reading books, but in this book I cried (well I was at school, and my eyes were watering) several times. I love this series so far. This book is a great for young Christian girls.

Summary: Violet's Hidden doubts
Review: I really loved this book because I'm a teenager and I can totally relate to violet's situation and feelings. In this book the pages are full of the emotional highs and lows of Violet Travilla's life after her much loved father dies. I always enjoy books that provoke emotion and this book made me laugh, cry, and think about the advice Elsie and Molly and other characters give throughout the book. This book made me understand a little more about myself. You should definitely read it!

Summary: Violet Speaks Volumes!!!
Review: Violet's Hidden Doubts is sooooo wonderful; I truly loved every minute of the story ~ after Edward's death, of course. At first, I thought that Vi's "hidden doubts" were because her father died, but it became increasingly obvious that they were of growing up instead. Her view is very different from either Elsie or Millie's and I very much enjoyed the fact that she was struggling with growing up and changes, where I sometimes find myself. It is hard when you realize that things become different as you get older: you want to hold on to the child you once were, yet at the same time want that exciting change of independence. Violet's struggle and victory has helped me!
I thought the ending of the story to be a very fitting conclusion, as Violet acted like she could take on anything and everything that the Lord had in store for her! Her playful attitude showed very plainly that she had changed.
