Description

'For Such a Time ... The Story of the Young Florence Booth' is one of those rare books chronicling early Salvation Army history from the inside out. Drawing heavily on intimate diaries and memoirs dating back to Florence's teenage years, it engrosses us in: -the battle against fierce parental opposition to her joining this disreputable Army and, worse still, marrying Bramwell Booth -the perils of pioneering in Paris in the early 1880s -being confronted as a 22-year-old with the evils of child prostitution and sex trafficking and as a result -finding herself caught up in a national campaign, which brought her young husband to stand trial at the Old Bailey.
