I actually read this as a bookend to my devotion time which worked well since little sermonettes close out most of the chapters. A chapter or two each day had it read in about 7 days and didn't add much time to the morning. If you have a harder time with didactic stories, this may be an easier way to read them and get out of them what they intend.
It takes the first three chapters to get this one off the ground but from there it moves quickly. Mary finds herself in seemingly the worst of circumstances. Her father's care in raising his child has shown her to deal with these circumstances in manners that we should all strive for. Mary's adventure lasts a few years and through God's intervention she is cared for and sustained, much due to the prayers of others even when she is unaware.
If you enjoy any of the other von Schmid books, I can't imagine you wouldn't enjoy this one. ( )
