The merchant, many years your senior, has made his desires for you quite clear and out of desperation, your young father relents. This may sound like a work of fiction, but this is only the beginning of the story of author Colleen Pease MacLean's great-grandmother, Elizabeth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHousebound by the COVID-19 pandemic, MacLean began researching her family tree to share with her four children. What unraveled was a tale of desperation, abuse, and pain that haunted her entire family during the mid-nineteenth century in Maine, USA. Using her own father's notes on Elizabeth, MacLean had more questions than answers and learned of the ongoing exploitation of some of our most vulnerable today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor readers looking for a new family drama, Elizabeth, Child Bride details the sweeping nature of trauma and how one decision can affect an entire family. For lovers of historical biographies, this book provides an honest portrayal of the ramifications of women's lack of rights and how children continue to be exploited and abused today and all over the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15862918\"\u003eColleen Pease MacLean\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781039154551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1039154557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS054000\"\u003eSocial History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO006000\"\u003eHistorical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO002000\"\u003eCultural, Ethnic \u0026amp; Regional | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FriesenPress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44455403487469,"sku":"1039154557","price":12.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_e24c3f33-3c18-4d49-9b13-08f5ff48e5c6.jpg?v=1700386592","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/elizabeth-child-bride-9781039154551","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
