A short story of a little girl who is a servant and how she won the heart of an unbelieving gardener. One of Grace's earliest books was "A Little Servant," published in 1890 while she was still unmarried. If you're looking for an original, it's written by "Grace Livingston." A review is found in "The New York Evangelist" in February 1890: D. Lothrop and Company annouce a number of mid-winter publications...A new book by Grace Livingston, entitled "A Little Servant," is just the thing to give children a high and noble conception of the duty and privilege of "by love serving one another" Since "A Little Servant" is a children's book, it can be hard to find. It's been reprinted as part of several paperback collections over the years, but if you've never read it, here it is.

After an accident in their childhood, Jordan and Olivia have lost their friendship and become strangers to each other. Well, not exactly strangers as Jordan is a prince and Olivia is his servant. Will they be able to reignite their friendship or become something greater after so many years? Or will Olivia always be just the servant girl to Jordan?

In April of 1860, on her 17th birthday, Anne's father gave her Wexford, a 15,000-acre cotton and tobacco plantation. He also gave her a new body servant, whom Anne named Moragan. Moragan is not a conventional slave. She is about 10, Irish, and has a habit of speaking her mind - a trait that annoys Anne profoundly! Moragan, does not know the rules and conventions of being a slave - much less being a body servant, so Anne trains her. It is not an easy task for either one of them, and Moragan is certain her behind will be completely worn away before she learns to behave! As America begins to fall apart at the seams, Anne and Moragan begin to forge a completely different relationship. Moragan runs Wexford House for Anne, and she learns what it means to be a slave from both perspectives: owner and owned. Anne always reminds Moragan that she and all the other servants are only stock, and not 'people'. Both of them are products of their time: and as Anne learns how to govern the society under her, she and Moragan discover who they truly are.
