This biography of Mary Baker Eddy began when Sibyl Wilbur, who wrote for newspapers in Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Washington D.C. and New York City, met Mrs. Eddy and became inspired by her courage and accomplishments.

This biography presents a vivid and inspiring picture of Mrs. Eddy's character and lifework as the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Includes black-and-white photographs. It is an easy read, and a good introduction to some of the more detailed biographies that have since been published. 406 pages
