Ester Ried

Ester Ried is a Christian fiction novel by American author Isabella M. Alden under the pen name "Pansy" and the first in her “Ester Ried” series. Heartwarming stories of faith and love set in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Ester Ried's life is a dull monotony of toiling at her family's boardinghouse. Her days are spent cooking and cleaning for the people living at her family’s boarding house. She's overworked, jealous and cranky, a poor example of a Christian to her family and associates.

Ester hates her life, but then a letter arrived from a well-to-do cousin in New York City—and things begin to happen. Ester is invited for a visit, and when she accepts, she has no idea that the coming days will change her life in ways she had never imagined. Ester Ried was first published in 1870. Next book in series: Julia Ried. Audiobook read by Tricia G, running time 7 hours, 28 min. Unabridged full version.

Isabella Macdonald Alden (1841 - 1945) was an American author of Christian fiction publishing her novels under her pen name “Pansy”. Highly influenced by her Christian beliefs, much of Alden's work was explicitly moral and didactic, and often found its way into Sunday School libraries. It was also immensely popular, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; in 1900, sales were estimated at around 100,000 copies annually.
