Summary "Elizabeth: the Disinherited Daughter" by Ebenezer Arnold is a historical fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life of Elizabeth Ward, who faces familial rejection and personal trials as she embraces her faith in Methodism, which ultimately leads to her disinheritance from her family. Throughout the narrative, themes of faith, perseverance, and the struggle between individual belief and familial loyalty are explored. The story begins in the late 18th century, where the narrative details Elizabeth's initial life as the eldest daughter in a well-to-do family. However, her faith journey leads her to convert to Methodism, much to the dismay of her strict Calvinistic family, resulting in a letter that alienates her from her father and leads to her disinheritance. As she transitions into her new life, Elizabeth finds solace and purpose in her faith, eventually marrying Joshua Arnold and engaging in various ministry efforts, including evangelism and community service. Despite the hardships she faces, Elizabeth’s unwavering faith and active involvement in her church illustrate her journey towards peace and fulfillment, leading to a life rich in service and spiritual community, even in the face of personal loss and societal challenges.
