Biography for Young Readers

Ever heard of Frances Ridley Havergal? She was an English poet and hymn writer in the nineteenth century. Among other hymns, she wrote "Take My Life, and Let It Be" and "Like a River Glorious." Read her biography to learn how God shaped her through trials into a young woman who wanted to write and sing only for her King. I have chosen to tell her story as if she were talking directly to you, in free verse, as I imagine she might have told it herself.
