Reader Reviews
“I got this book this spring and thoroughly enjoyed it. I kept telling my sisters about it and as soon as I finished I passed it on to them. My sister (who does not like to read) read it over the summer and now our younger sister has it. We all say it is one of our favorite books.” — Cynthia Raburn of Madras, Oregon
“This is a beautiful, exciting story from start to finish. I was drawn in immediately and couldn’t put it down. It has so many unexpected plot twists and some truly delightful characters. Capitola made me laugh out loud. Definitely would recommend this book to a friend!” — Rachel Avery of Palm, Pennsylvania
“Oh my goodness!! This is definitely one of my favorite Lamplighter books! It’s a really great read. As always, E.D.E.N Southworth does a great job of weaving together suspense and great morals, and it’s really inspiring. I love the unexpected twists in the book. Thank you Lamplighter for making this available!” — Rachel Pemberton, Paonia, Colorado

Ishmael: Or, In the Depths (Eden Southworth)
$31.50Eden Southworth considered Ishmael her finest written work, based on the life of one of the noblest men who ever lived, suffered, toiled, and triumphed in her land. Its inspirations of wisdom and goodness were drawn from the examples of heroic warriors and statesmen of the Revolution.
Ishmael – born in the depths of poverty, misery, and humiliation and raised to the summit of fame – was good as well as great. His life is proof that there is no depth of human misery from which we may not, by virtue, energy, and perseverance, rise to earthly honors, and by God’s grace, attain eternal glory.
Themes: Perseverance, integrity, honor, valor, courage and purity.
