Foreword
When Ella White Robinson sat down, at the age of 92, to write her memoirs, she began at the beginning when she, a child of 3, traveled to Europe with her parents and grandmother. What follows is a lively account of the First Family of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, as seen through the eyes of a young person who was a part of that close-knit family.OMS 10.1
Blessed with a keen mind, near-photographic memory, and remarkable literary talent, Ella breathes life into the long-ago pioneer phase of the church. The early struggles of the brave leaders, their poverty and devotion, come through a bit differently on these pages. And most of all, there is the fun, the hope, the dreams, that were a part of the very human element of our beginning. Over the shoulder of Ella Robinson, we move into a better understanding of our worldwide church and its roots.OMS 10.2
After Ella’s death in 1977, at the age of 95, her son, Virgil, himself the author of 19 books, compiled and organized his mother’s material for publication.OMS 10.3
