Stepping Heavenward, by Elizabeth Prentiss

This charming diary, written by a teenager living in the nineteenth century, takes us from her sixteenth birthday up to the last chapters she wrote when she was forty years old, ill and aware of the coming end. This is a story of the development of a soul that learned through everyday events, seemingly marginal and insignificant, that the true happiness is an outcome of willing to gladly sacrifice for others rather than the pursuit of self-fulfillment.
