The Little Missis by Charlotte Skinner
"The Little Missis" by Charlotte Skinner is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Phebe Waring, a young woman navigating her life after her unexpected marriage to Ralph Waring, who has left her for a venture in Australia, leaving her to manage a struggling business and care for their two small children. The narrative explores themes of faith, resilience, and the bonds of friendship, especially through
the character of Mrs. Colston, who offers her support.
