About this book
Rosalie appears to have everything a young girl could desire—a glamorous life traveling with her father's theater troupe, surrounded by the glitz and spectacle of the stage. Yet Mrs. O. F. Walton's beloved novel reveals the heartbreaking truth behind the curtain: beneath Rosalie's bright smile lies deep sorrow, a dying mother, and a desperate struggle to survive in the theatrical world's harsh realities.
As Rosalie navigates the contradictions between the theater's false promises and her own aching loneliness, she discovers something far more precious than fame or fortune. Through unexpected encounters and trials, she learns of the Good Shepherd who offers genuine love, care, and purpose—a spiritual awakening that transforms her understanding of what truly matters in life.
This classic Victorian religious fiction combines Walton's gift for emotional storytelling with profound spiritual themes, exploring faith, loss, redemption, and the search for belonging. The narrative weaves through the colorful world of traveling shows and lodging houses, offering both compelling drama and timeless wisdom about trust and God's unwavering compassion.
Perfect for young adult listeners seeking meaningful stories that blend adventure with spiritual depth, or for anyone appreciating 19th-century literature that speaks to the heart, this audiobook reminds us that life's greatest treasures are found not on the stage, but in faith and love.
