"Die Berg-Maria, oder: Wer nur den lieben Gott läßt walten" by L. A. Wollenweber is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the life of a young girl named Maria Jung, who, along with her family, emigrates from Württemberg, Germany, to Pennsylvania in search of a better life. The narrative encapsulates themes of faith, resilience, and the immigrant experience during a challenging period in history. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Maria's background, detailing her family's difficult decision to leave their homeland due to poor harvests and heavy taxes. The journey to America is fraught with peril, as Maria's family faces illness and death aboard a ship, leading to a heartbreaking loss. Alone and grieving, Maria finds solace in prayer, which helps her endure the painful trials. A chance encounter with a kind young man named Theodor Benz offers her a glimmer of hope amidst her tragedy, setting the stage for their evolving relationship and the challenges they will face in their new home. This opening portion establishes Maria's strength and faith, signaling a narrative filled with hardship yet anchored in hope and love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
