About the author
E.D.E.N. Southworth
205 books103 followersEmma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte (aka "E.D.E.N.") Southworth was an American writer of more than 60 novels in the latter part of the 19th century. She was probably the most widely read author of that era.
Some of her earliest works appeared in The National Era, the newspaper that printed Uncle Tom's Cabin. Like her friend Harriet Beecher Stowe, she was a supporter of social change and women's rights. Her first novel, Retribution, a serial for the National Era, published in book form in 1846, was so well received that she gave up teaching and became a regular contributor to various periodicals, especially the New York Ledger.
Her best known work was The Hidden Hand. Most of her novels deal with the Southern United States during the post-American Civil War era.

I so enjoyed the ending of this story. The story starts in the book Her Mother’s Secret and continues in the following volume Love’s Bitterest Cup. From the beginning there is a secret which the mother, Elfrida Force has kept from her family. The keeping of this secret has brought much heartache to her daughter in preventing her from marrying the one she loves. In this third volume the Secret is finally revealed. I couldn’t stop listening. (I listened to all 3 on audio).
