Hedgesville, WV, October 12, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Penelope Gladwell, a retired educator and frequent worship leader and church musician, has completed her new book, “Sarah's Spring”: a heartfelt tale set in the late 19th century that follows a young girl who must pick up the pieces of her shattered life after losing her family to a fire, leave her with only her cat by her side.

Born and raised in Moorestown, New Jersey, author Penelope Gladwell graduated from Chatham University with a degree in history and elementary education. After a decade of teaching and living in Boyd County, Kentucky, she and her husband and daughter returned to Pittsburgh, where she became an ordained United Methodist pastor.

In her spare time, the author is often a speaker at Hedges Chapel, a historic faith community in the area, and facilitates seasonal Bible studies.

“A young girl faces an uncertain future after the loss of her entire family in a fire,” writes Gladwell. “‘Sarah’s Spring’ is her story told in her own voice. Accompanied only by her cat, Sarah Budd ventures from villages on the Delaware River to a farm on the edge of the Pine Barrens named Bittersweet Acres.

“Set in southern New Jersey in the 1870s, the novel provides a glimpse of social mores of the times as Sarah faces her fears with determination and resilience.
