 | Beyond Stateliest Marble: The Passionate Femininity of Anne Bradstreet (Leaders in Action Series) by Douglas Wilson
Buy new: $13.22 / Used from: $8.49 Anne Bradstreet was a beautiful woman in whose footsteps the women of today would do well to follow. She knew her place, and delighted in her role as a woman. She lived with passion, and the book describes the things, people, and ideas about which she was passionate. I look to Anne as an ideal of a Godly woman whose many virtues I would like to mirror.

You probably won't agree with everything in the book, but it's still well worth reading.

 | The Way Home: A Princess Story by Max Lucado
Buy used from: $3.67 A sweet allegory describing how a princess is discontent at home, and chooses the darkness. Her Father, the King, comes to ransom her with His own life, and take her home to Himself. Beautiful pictures!
I think this can also apply to daughters at home who may feel discontent with their place as daughters of the King, and daughters at home of their parents.
