Summary of Joanna Weaver's Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 She did it all. And then some. Martha’s duties were so heavy that she was often called the most competent female in the neighborhood. Martha’s single minded devotion to her family’s success was such that she had little time for socializing and no desire to do so. Martha was a stay-at-home mom, but she didn’t wish to just sit around. She was busy building the foundation of her family’s wealth—all while raising seven children and running the household. Not long ago, I read a book about a woman named Harriet Beecher Stowe. She was the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which told the story of a group of slaves who escaped to freedom in the North and became an important tool in the fight against slavery. As a young girl, Harriet wanted to be a teacher, but her family could not afford it. Instead, she became a teacher’s assistant, and later opened an academy of her own. Because her husband had died young, she needed to support her growing family as well as pay for her own education. By age 21, she had published two books and had become a sought-after speaker.
