Summary note

"Augustus Garrett and Eliza Clark Garrett were a very influential couple in old Chicago. Augustus served two terms as mayor of Chicago. The story of his wife Eliza, the chronicle of a spiritual journey, reflects the struggles of sincere, pious women to come to terms with tragedy in an age when most people attributed every unhappy event as divinely determined"-- Provided by publisher.
