Book excerpt: Amy's Amazing Adventures is the biography of a child born in 1852 as the thirteenth of thirteen children. As her mother was dying shortly after her birth, she offered Amy to a dear barren friend. When she was two years old Amy's foster mother died. Amy was then given to another family where she was mistreated by the foster mother and brothers but learned valuable spiritual lessons from the foster father. Recognizing that Amy was not taken care of properly neighbors helped secure yet another foster home. This elderly lady was loving but soon she died too and once again Amy was placed in another family. By the time she was ten years old, Amy had lived in five homes. Amy's nature and character strongly built through her hardships prepared her for many unusually amazing adventures for a young lady of that era. At age eighteen, finding her family of origin and inheriting a small cash sum made it possible for Amy to begin a new life. She left the state of her birth to attend Normal School in Fredonia, New York, in 1870. Through a series of adventures she moved to Kansas and completed her Normal School training in Fredonia, Kansas, ironically named after Fredonia, New York. Come with us now on a unique adventure to know what it was like to have been orphaned in 1852, to find a way to be educated near the east coast of America in New York, have put down roots and raised a family in a Midwestern state, and then end up on the west coast of America in Oregon.
