The Mother’s Mistake is a novel written by Sarah Stickney Ellis in 1857. The story revolves around a mother named Mrs. Hamilton, who makes a terrible mistake that leads to tragic consequences for her family. Mrs. Hamilton is a devoted mother to her two daughters, Isabella and Mary. However, she becomes overly focused on her eldest daughter, Isabella, and neglects her younger daughter, Mary.Isabella is a beautiful and talented young woman who is showered with attention and praise by her mother. Mary, on the other hand, is quiet and unassuming, and often overlooked by her mother. As a result, Mary feels neglected and unloved, and begins to resent her sister.When Isabella falls in love with a young man named Charles, Mrs. Hamilton is thrilled. However, when Charles shows an interest in Mary instead of Isabella, Mrs. Hamilton becomes jealous and makes a terrible mistake. She tells Charles that Mary is already engaged to another man, hoping to push him towards Isabella.This lie sets off a chain of events that leads to heartbreak and tragedy for the Hamilton family. As the truth comes to light, Mrs. Hamilton realizes the terrible mistake she has made and must face the consequences of her actions.The Mother’s Mistake is a powerful and emotional story about the importance of love, family, and honesty. It explores the devastating effects of jealousy and neglect, and the power of forgiveness and redemption.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
