N2  - "A Circuit Rider's Wife" by Corra Harris is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is narrated by Mary Elizabeth Eden, who recounts her life as the wife of William Asbury Thompson, a Methodist circuit rider, detailing their experiences and challenges as they travel to remote congregations. The narrative evokes themes of love, faith, and the complexities of life within the context of a religious itinerant lifestyle.  The opening of the novel introduces the narrator as she reflects on her marriage and the life that has unfolded since her choice to marry a preacher, revealing her mixed feelings about the life she has chosen. She recounts her early encounters with William, their swift courtship, and the stark realities of living in a parsonage on the Redwine Circuit. Initial moments of joy soon give way to a realization of her responsibilities and the weight of expectations placed upon a minister's wife. As the narrative unfolds, Mary shares poignant observations about the struggles faced by itinerant preachers and their families, setting the stage for a rich exploration of love, sacrifice, and the sometimes unbearable burdens of faith.
