Originally published more than 125 years ago in the Elsie Dinsmore series, these newly-updated stories introduce another young girl whose strong faith is a powerful example for today's girls—-Violet Travilla, the daughter of Elsie Dinsmore. Violet is a fourteen-year-old Christian girl growing up in the late 1800's. Today's readers will find it easy to identify with Violet's growing faith and struggle toward maturity. Book one begins in 1877, when creative, independent fourteen-year-old Violet learns that growing up brings new problems, feelings, and questions. As the entire Travilla family faces a tragic loss, Violet discovers that true faith defeats even hidden doubts.

At fifteen, Violet discovers new family members and old family secrets. A call for help leads her on a sudden rescue mission and an exciting journey through the ancient streets of Rome.

In Violet's Turning Point, Vi Travilla and her friends visit New York City. They expect a summer holiday filled with shopping, sightseeing, and social occasions in America's most exciting city, but things quickly become complicated. A missing relative and a mysterious stranger from abroad plunge Vi into dramatic situations that test her confidence and challenge her understanding of what it means to be responsible for others. Will her faith sustain her as she struggles to protect her loved ones from harm? Violet's Turning Point is the third in the A Life of Violet Travilla series based on the nineteenth-century characters of Miss Martha Finley. Miss Finley dedicated herself to bringing hope and guidance to readers through her writings. Mission City Press is proud to carry on her legacy in this new series of stories about Vi, her family, and the timeless power of true faith.

Vi Travilla is about to take on a challenge unlike anything she's ever done before. Vi knows that her dream will not be easy to achieve, but she is little prepared for the complications that await her. Who will come to her aid as she confronts the unknown forces that are determined to end her mission? What must she do to win the hearts of the people she wants to serve? Will her faith sustain her as she faces distrust and danger? The fourth in the A Life of Violet Travilla series, Violet's Bold Mission is based on characters created by Miss Martha Finley, a nineteenth-century novelist who penned a series of best-selling books about the Christian life. Her books inspired millions of readers in her own time. Mission City Press is pleased to continue Miss Finley's tradition of Christian storytelling in these new adventures of Vi Travilla—-a young woman committed to live her faith every day through service to others.

Vi's mission is up and running, but her problems are far from over. An old enemy reappears and asks for help. The fate of two orphaned children still hangs in the balance. A new resident brings new dilemmas. In her work and her personal life, Vi faces issues unlike any she has dealt with before, and she must look into many hearts to discover the truths that lie within.

Romance is about to change everything for Vi Travilla, in ways she cannot anticipate. To Vi, the love of her life is a perfect match, but nothing in her experience prepares her for Lulu, a young girl whose fears could crush all of Vi's hopes. Meanwhile, the work of the mission continues. Vi's service to the Lord takes some strange twists, and her faith is tested when she must turn to an old enemy for help.

Vi is confident that her problems have been resolved, but mistrust and misunderstanding lead to one of the most difficult challenges of her life. The happiness of her new family is at stake, and if Vi doesn't act wisely, hearts will surely be broken.

In all her travels, Vi has never seen any place as exotic and exciting as the Caribbean! But what dangers are unearthed in her exploration of the beautiful island? Vi's faith and courage will be stretched to the limit as she struggles to unravel a mystery that threatens her dearest loves.
